"So if you’re anti-shutdown, you better have been wearing a mask all damn year, because don’t come to me and say you’re anti-shutdown when you’re spreading COVID all over the place, potentially," she continued.
AOC concluded her rant, "As elected officials, our job is to be first in modeling responsible behavior, because I can’t ask you to wear a mask if I’m not wearing a mask. I can’t ask you to take a vaccine if I’m not willing to take a vaccine."
It remains unknown how long the current lockdown measures are to last in various states. President Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" has resulted in a vaccine rollout on December 15, 2020.
