Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney voted against repealing mask mandates on public transportation. Why? Because he apparently forgot that his job is to legislate.

Romney was the only Republican to oppose repealing the mandates. Eight Democrats broke ranks and supported the measure, which makes sense, given that the mask requirement on airplanes is inexplicable at this point. According to CNN’s Ali Zaslav, citing a Romney aide, Romney voted to keep the mandates because “he believes it’s important for public health officials to make these types of decisions, not politicians.”
