Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) said Sunday that it’s the responsibility of President Trump’s rallygoers’ to decide for themselves whether to socially distance and wear masks.
“All of us, all of us need to wear a mask, we need to social distance,” Scott said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
CNN’s Jake Tapper asked the Florida senator if it bothers him that President Trump holds rallies in his state during which attendees do not wear masks or social distance.
“These are your own constituents, your own citizens who are not abiding by health protocols,” Tapper said.
“Jake, everybody’s gotta take this seriously,” Scott answered. “You should wear your mask. You should social distance. But it’s your responsibility to make these decisions for yourself.”
“And there’s a way to do these things safely and that’s what my expectation is that every American does that,” he added.
"We haven't beaten it. I think let's all agree on that," GOP Sen. Rick Scott says on Covid-19. "All of us need to wear a mask, we need to social distance. … We still have a lot of work to do. Especially work to do on testing" #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/0AQH3rDqC1
