Buck Sexton took to Twitter yesterday to comment on the efficacy of cloth masks and condescendingly questioned why people still choose to wear them. His tweet was puzzling, considering he has spent the better part of the past 18 months championing the right of people to make their own decisions regarding their health. More importantly, his tweet regarding the efficacy of cloth masks was patently false.

“It is stunning that there are still so many people walking around with cloth masks on as though it will protect anyone from COVID,” he wrote. “We’re in the eras of iPhones and SpaceX, but millions still obey mask superstition like medieval peasants terrified of the number 13.”
