President Joe Biden has reacted to Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas telling him to “kiss my a**” over the president’s federal mask mandate, calling the congressman’s remark “not very American.”
But Roy stands by his statement, and begs to differ on whether the comment was “American.”
Biden floated the implementation of a nationwide mask mandate months before the election, and reiterated his vow before taking office.
Last month, Biden promised on Twitter, “On day one, I’ll sign an executive order to require masks everywhere I can.”
Roy responded, “On day one I will tell you to kiss my a**.”
