“I laugh off the assertions that because I take this virus seriously, and we let data help drive our decisions, that means I’m not a good Republican, or a bad Republican, or not a Republican, whatever they want to call me," he said.

“The reality is, none of these individuals, if they’re questioning my street cred, look it, none of them have my job, OK?” McMahon responded. “And none of them have to come out here and talk about how we just lost another person to COVID-19. And none of them have all the information I have.”

I give credit where credit is due. He has done and continues to do a very good job for our county. I hope he at least goes Independent if not Democratic after he reflects on this experience when all is said and done.
