Kilmeade: Is lifting restrictions about science or politics?

'One Nation' host Brian Kilmeade says mandates are ending, no thanks for Democrat COVID hypocrites.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade discussed the impact mandates have had on children on Saturday's "One Nation," questioning whether Democrat-run states are now lifting restrictions because of "politics."

They have trouble navigating social situations because of their mask with their peers, let alone what they have to deal with in terms of social media and the iPhone. Even the surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, admitted, finally that kids are taking it the worst and really suffering in the classroom…
