Jo Rae Perkins in CNN political race coverage


On Health Care: No masks; I don't need to be a doctor--I know how to read

I asked, "Do you not believe in wearing masks?"

"Do you see one?" Perkins replied.

"I do not. But what's your answer?"

"No," Perkins said

"Why not?"

"They do absolutely nothing to protect you," she said confidently.

So I asked, "How do you know that? Are you a scientist?"

"No, I don't need to be a scientist. I've done tons of reading," Perkins retorted.

"Oh. Are you a doctor?" I asked.

"I don't need to be a doctor either. I know how to read," she said with a chuckle.
