Colorado Governor Stands By ‘Selfish Bastard’ Remark

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) is standing by a recent Facebook post calling anyone who refuses to wear a mask to help mitigate the spread of coronavirus a “selfish bastard,” The Hill reports.

Said Polis: “The emerging scientific data is clear: wearing a mask doesn’t only protect others, it also significantly reduces your own risk of getting Coronavirus. So if you’re a selfish bastard and wearing a mask to protect others isn’t enough of a reason to do so, then maybe protecting yourself is?”
