Ah yes. If there\u2019s one thing the youngsters are doing out there, it\u2019s \u201cfollowing Dave Yost on Twitter.\u201d

Yeah so here\u2019s the thing Mr Yost, the lack of guitar playing didn\u2019t kill a bunch of people. Your \u201csense of humor\u201d is just a guise for you not caring

More than a bit childish & disrespectful to the millions of people who have lost their lives to this horrific disease. A moment of silence for those we lost, those who have worked to save lives & those who worked to create vaccines would have been a far better idea! Despicable!

That mask possibly saved your life and mine. I get your \u201cjoke\u201d, I just think it is beneath the dignity of your office. \n\nBe better than this. Grow into your role. It is bigger than you.

600,000 Americans who died of COVID wish they had another chance to wear a mask.

It's really pathetic the lengths some in the GOP have gone to about their outrage and anger over a piece of cloth. Imagine if they focused that outrage on something like race relations or the attack on the Capitol.

I know people who have respect for life yet no masks and had to watch loved ones die. \n\nSick burn, Yost. You Are sick to burn that mask to score points with other shallow bros.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2021/6/2/poverty-stigma-behind-bodies-floating-in-indias-ganges-river\u00a0\u2026

Believe in Dave\u2019s younger days he may have enjoyed pulled wings off flies, blowing up butterflies w/M80s, and drowning kittens for fun!\n\nSo to mock 20,000 dead Ohioans, over a year of struggle for all of us, when our State is not enough at 45% protected ..\n\nsounds about right!

Does everything have to be performance art?\n\nCan't just throw the damn thing away?\n\nOh no, I have to film myself "Owning the libs" by setting a paper mask on fire.\n\nOhio is screwed.

Tell that to my Mother-in-Law. She's not laughing...or doing anything anymore, actually.

not appropriate for an attorney general/elected official.\n\nI expect more from someone in your position, but then again we had that 45th guy for a while.

This is offensive and reckless.\n\nIt\u2019s behavior like this that will result in people continuing to get sick.\n\nMany people are still not vaccinated and many others have health issues like compromised immune systems.\n\nOur leaders should be setting good examples not terrible ones.https://twitter.com/yost4ohio/status/1399878689622564870\u00a0\u2026

GOP politicians are not interested in governing, legislating, or doing anything to make their constituents' lives better.\n\nThey want to use their office to prove they are edgelords (while giving tax cuts and handouts to their wealthy friends.)https://twitter.com/Yost4Ohio/status/1399878689622564870\u00a0\u2026
