Mark Meadows just epitomized the White House's stupefying position on masks
For a fleeting moment a while back, President Trump actually gave into pressure to embrace masks. That moment has clearly passed, with Trump again casting doubt on their efficacy, holding largely maskless rallies and returning to ridiculing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for wearing his.
As Ive written before, its a decidedly dumbfounding stance especially as health experts and even many GOP governors emphasize how wearing a mask is such a simple, vital way to further two of Trumps coronavirus priorities: reopening our economy and returning to school.
But now that Trump is toeing this line again, he has left those around him to account for it. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows just showed how impossible that is to do in good faith.
During a brief Q&A with reporters Thursday morning, Meadows offered his own bewildering comments about why he doesnt wear a mask. His argument basically boiled down to this: If its not 100 percent effective, Im not interested.
