A Ga. mayor on 'frustrating' political battle over masks
On Wednesday, Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, put the issue of wearing face masks front and center. Kemp signed an order that bans towns and cities from requiring masks be worn, even as coronavirus cases in the state rise. Mayor Kelly Girtz of Georgia’s Athens-Clarke County, which recently approved a public mask mandate, joins Amna Nawaz to discuss the “deeply frustrating” situation.
