GOP Ohio Gov: My Mask Order Was “A Bridge Too Far”

ABC News reports:

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Sunday that a statewide order mandating face masks be worn in stores went “too far.”

“It became clear to me that that was just a bridge too far. People were not going to accept the government telling them what to do,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.”

“I think generally Republicans are less inclined to have the government tell them what to do. And that’s generally how I am. I’m a conservative Republican. I think we’re better off not having the government tell us what to do,” DeWine said.
