Arkansas judge blocks state from enforcing mask mandate ban
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/asa-hutchinson-arkansas-governor-mask-law-face-the-nation/
Washington Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said Sunday he changed his mind about a bill he signed in April to ban mask mandates across the state because "facts change," and admitted that signing it at a time when COVID-19 cases were low in his state was "an error."
"Facts change and leaders have to adjust to the new facts that you have and the reality of what you have to deal with," the Republican governor said on "Face the Nation." "I realized that we needed to have more options for our local school districts to protect those children. And so I asked the legislature to redo the law that prohibited those requirements or those options for the school districts to protect the children. And so it was an error to sign that law."

You engaged in a political stunt for partisan performance art reasons, and it is killing people. Take your dishonest spin and shove it up your ass where your head already is.
