Font Size: Fox News’ White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday as to whether President Joe Biden stands by his previous comment in which he said Republican governors who lifted mask mandates were indulging “Neanderthal thinking.” “Does the President still think that these red state governors, who were a little bit ahead of the federal government, lifting the mask mandates, had Neanderthal thinking?” Doocy asked. WATCH: “I would say that even with this guidance that’s out there, the guidance is not telling states and localities exactly how they should implement,” Psaki responded. “As you know, there are some localities and states in the country that have higher rates of vaccination than others, some communities that have higher rates of vaccination than others. And we even know as this is being implemented that different localities, businesses will implement it in a way that they feel will help ensure their community is safe.”
