Face mask fetishists who get their kicks out of telling random people in the streets to “WEAR YOUR MASK” will be remembered as among the worst parts of 2020. We can also thank them for being the reason that so many of us hate wearing them to begin with.

MSNBC contributor and plagiarist Mike Barnicle is one of those people. During an interview segment Wednesday on Morning Joe, Barnicle listened to Republican House candidate Jim Oberweis deliver a pitch-perfect answer on “social distancing” and masks, only to then demand to know why Oberweis didn’t believe in their utility.
