“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin agreed on Friday with President Biden’s observation that Republican governors who reopened states and revoked the masks’ mandates were engaged in “Neanderthal thinking” because they chose not to ” listen to the government. “
Hostin, a trusted liberal voice on the show, said Biden had “every right” to feel that way about the Republican leaders in Texas and Mississippi, who announced plans this week to lift capacity restrictions and lift restrictions on masks.
“All attachment to the language is really something to me, when you were four years old from someone speaking in the lowest terms and demeaning and degrading people,” she said. “I think President Biden has every right to feel that way. He suffered a tremendous loss. Americans suffered a tremendous loss, more than 500,000 lost souls.
“We are about to change, but we only have about 15.6%, 16.3% of the total population that has already been vaccinated, and we know that we need 70 to 80% of the vaccinated population for herd immunity. The Biden administration was to wear masks during the first 100 days of its administration. “

Hostin said he agreed that it was “Neanderthal thinking” to remove the mandates from the mask now.
“Not listening to the government and not listening to science, the most important thing,” she said. “I think I would have called it worse than Neanderthal thinking, frankly.”

Reversing the masks’ mandates does not mean that people cannot disguise themselves, as Texas Governor Greg Abbott noted on Thursday. Cases and hospitalizations across the country have declined as COVID vaccinations have increased across the country.
“We are still vehemently advocating that every Texan follow best practices,” he told Fox News. “Where we are today is completely different from where we were last year, when Texans and Americans didn’t know how to deal with this for an entire year. Texans learned the best practice, which is to wear a mask. “

Given the traditionally Republican trend in Texas and Mississippi, some conservatives took offense at Biden’s language, comparing it to Hillary Clinton calling Donald Trump’s supporters “deplorable”.
“For a president who asked for unity to degrade himself from cursing, it makes no sense,” Montana Governor Greg Gianforte said on Friday.
