2. SOUNDBITE (English) Mayor Muriel Bowser, (D) Washington DC:
"Why do they need masks? Their federal officials, their paid by taxpayers? They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional and that’s part of the job. And so I don’t know why anybody needs to wear a mask. And I think some people identified as some of these drug type situations, that mask could be part of a, you know, a PPE (personal protective equipment), if you will. That’s not the case for what they’re doing here."
