Austin Mayor: He ‘Couldn’t Believe’ Texas Governor’s Decision To Lift Mask Mandate | NBC News NOW
Didn't bother him to much, sense he went out of the country!!!! What a JOKE !!!!!!!
What about now biatch?!
Almost a month later and texas positive cases has dropped tremendously.ðŸ˜ÂÂðŸ˜ÅÂ
Politicians only care about money
Believe it Steve. That’s what a governor looks like. 🙌ðŸÂ»🇺🇸
F..K you Austin !!!!
Who gives a crap about what this commie thinks! Just try ordering city police to enforce your stinking beliefs, see what happens to you! I don't know if you could be arrested for trying to deny pepples constitution rights, but you should be! At the very least you should be removed from office! Maybe city council has more ethics than you and can wirk on that! You and any other commie mayor, if any, it's well known NBC is fake news! Hope they go bankrupt soon too! And screw all you tools in this comment section pushing the BS
I'm curious, is a mandate a law? Are guidelines laws? Are mandates and guidelines suggestions, strong suggestions or do they carry the weight of law? If they are laws, legally enforceable why not quote the law and make it clear? If they are suggestions, even strong suggestions, then it is deceitful to represent then as legally enforceable and threaten citizens. If they are jaws when did they get passed?
Mayor Steve Adler needs to resign. It has been a year with much of the world wearing the stupid suffocating slave mask. And he thinks it is still a good idea.
Crazy man no one going to get out of this mess
You just Trump how is evil so deal with. Joe he's good man be me was good man. He was trying to help Texes
Adopt a migrant family! Democrats and Biden needs your help and are coming to your house!
They're not ordering businesses to open up at 100%. They're giving businesses the freedom to DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES to what extent they want to open. It's this little thing called LIBERTY.ÂÂÂ
If you own a business and can survive at 30%, and want to stay at 30%, more power to you! If you're afraid and want to stay home, stay home. The only things these governor's did was give back your liberty. THANK THEM AND EXERCISE YOUR FREEDOM.
Democrats are all low-resolution thinkers
Yes let's not forget these Mayors are all Democrats and taking orders from the White House before you put up the interview please let us know if they are Democrats or Republicans so we can cut out the BS right away and not waste our time…..
DON'T BE STUPID NBC NEWS AND MAYOR ADLER: DON'T YOU THINK IF THE COUNTRY'S PRESIDENT GAVE A S'T ABOUT TEXAS AND DID NOT OPEN THE BORDER, THE GOVERNOR WOULD GIVE A S'T ALSO. BIDEN THINKS OR IS MADE TO THINK (WHICH I DON'T THINK HE CAN DO FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME) HE IS OUR DE FACTO EXPERT ON COVID, SO THE GOVENOR IS FOLOWING HIS LEAD! I MEAN, OPEN THE BORDERS AND ALLOW WHOMEVER TO CROSS IS THE MOST IDIOTIC THING HE COULD DO, NEXT TO SHUTTING DOWN THE PIPELINE, BUT, HEY, HE'S THE PRESIDENT, RIGHT?
So glad I am in a country where there is clear & consistent health messages. We crushed this virus but r vigilant for new lockdowns.
I'm glad this mayor has some common sense. What about health care workers they are already overworked
Your wrong governor
Just use common sense and wash your hands
Don't care what democratics say
Please stay in your own states, and not travel
Where​ is​ Health​ Dpt.​I​ did't​ hear​ a​ Word​ about… Governors​ are​ more​ expert ing​ in​ this​ matter?
'TEXAS VARIANT' AHEAD..!
I wear a mask because I want to LIVE
Texas Governor is Corrupted and a super spreader .
Ignore abbott
Seems like the demonrats and their libbabies are the only ones obsessed with face diapers….
What a bad mayor. These politicians ate disgusting.
"Just days before Spring break"
Money trumps health
I've worked in Medicine field and most of us in this field should use Scientific evidence along with common sense after facing years of different medical emergencies. We should set the example nd protect our peers who are working the front lines even to their deaths for THE HUMANS in general. Let's be wise and double mask or simply wear a mask to avoid losing more lives that are not vaccinated yet nd are immune challenged. Love our Nieghbors….it's Written Biblically …Stay Safe nd Blessed! 😉
Population Control Texas Style!
Man. We have 1 1/2 the Population of Texas (38 to 29 million) and they have 3X our cases and over twice our deaths. Talk about bad governing.. Lets see. Lives or money? MONEY!!! YEAH!!!
Abbott trumpublican QaNUTS
Our mayor is a chickensh-t compliance monitor, and I guaranty he's a snitch.
BIDEN ….CLOSE THE BORDER DURING THE PANDEMIC…BUT NO BIDEN SLAMS AMERICANS OVER MASK….AMERICANS CAN'T LIVE FREE BUT LET EVERYBODY ILLEGAL IN OUR COUNTRY…WHAT???.
Lock down everyone until USA is crushed idiots. Trump will be back. Just wait you fools. Hey no one caught covid19 in all the antifa and blm riots over the last 8 months.
Where is fauci at with the biden made critical covid19 spread at the border ðŸ¤â€Â. If states can't open then why open up illegal immigration into our country.i

He should realize that he can implement a mask mandate inside the city of Austin…. If he really believes in masks then he should act like a leader in his community…
You can resign if you don't like it
Worst Governor ever!!
I think we may have our first Male Mayor "Nancy" , here is how neanderthal he is, in as much as he is a weak and pathetic leader, 4 states have lifted the mandate to wear masks, 10 states never had a mandate. This is the curious case of "what are they crying about now" and " how can we control people and keep them under our thumb". Luckily we live in a free country and will never listen or care about these types of nancy's.
This guy is a liberal hack!
Demarats demand biden to shut the fricking border
Everyone Biden picks are unquestionably unqualified. Biden is unqualified run a game of solitary. Let lone a country.The best thing for our country is Biden takes a 4 year nap……
Where is fauci at with the biden made critical covid19 spread at the border ðŸ¤â€Â. If states can't open then why open up illegal immigration into our country.
How dare he give the people back their ability to choose for themselves.
