His reasoning is that he thinks doctors should be able to treat their patients as they see fit. Funny how he hasn't felt that way over the last year as his health department discouraged doctors from prescribing HCQ and Ivermectin. He, Nate Smith, and Jose Romero have A LOT of blood on their hands from patients who could have been saved with those medications.

I didn't care much for him to begin with, but I lost any respect I had for him last March when he and his health department stopped allowing "elective" medical procedures but never bothered to stop abortions. My opinion slipped even lower when he instituted the statewide mask mandate last July to appease Walmart after telling us for months that he wouldn't. And, just when I thought I couldn't think less of him, he told everybody in our state how excited he was to work with Biden. He has also hosted large unmasked events at the governors mansion while shaking his finger at us and reminding us that we should not be gathering, and even in our own homes, we should wear masks if we dared allow non household members in. He is a hypocrite.

Anyhow, my longwinded point is, Asa is a RINO and many Arkansas are very glad he is term limited because he has shown his truly ugly colors over the last year. I absolutely cannot wait until he is out of office.
