AG Yost burns face mask
COLUMBUS – Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost posted a video of him lighting a face mask on fire on Wednesday. Yost said he did this “in honor of the expiring health orders.” Most of Ohio’s COVID-19 health orders were lifted on Wednesday.
Some Twitter users did not enjoy the video. One twitter user, @Clearly_Not_Rys, replied, “What is wrong with you? Why dance upon the graves of the 500,000 plus dead fellow Americans?” Another user, @LASeitz, replied, “Do the people of Ohio know they elected a six year old?” Yost respond to some of the negative replies by tweeting, “A little-known side effect of COVID-19 is a temporary loss of the sense of humor.”
Yost also tweeted that his video was a spoof of Jim Hendrix setting his Stratocaster guitar on fire at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
