With the information that masks save lives by slowing the spread of the virus, it has been infuriating to have Chris Sununu stall and stall about issuing a mask mandate. Now he comes a day late and a dollar short when he says okay to wear a mask, but “there is no penalty if you don’t wear one.”
I have been trying to understand why Sununu did not want to promote masks. I am convinced that it goes back to Donald Trump and Trump’s stand against wearing a mask himself. I think that Sununu wanted to show his loyalty to Trump and not seem to be upstaging or doubting him.
So, I guess that loyalty to Trump was more important than saving some lives of people in New Hampshire.
