Au contraire mon frère. When someone in power responds to the need for a nation-wide mask mandate with something along the lines of "Masks are good, but I believe in personal freedoms", he's kind of made it political.
Showing him saying this on TV, airing it on radio and/or printing it in a paper is not the media making it that way. Someone has already put his foot in his mouth...
