KTVB: “It’s five words that many have likely heard their children or someone arguing in social media comments say; ‘I have done some research.’ That’s also what Representative Karey Hanks (R- St. Anthony) said on Tuesday while speaking in support of a bill that would ban any sort of face mask mandate issued by local governments in Idaho. Republican Gov. Brad Little has never issued a statewide mask mandate, but nine counties and 10 cities have such orders in place. ‘So we live in a republic and we the people should have a voice and a choice about our own health,’ the first-term representative said. ‘I have done some research and would like to share with you the physical and emotional and even mental injuries to our bodies and possibly even our souls as healthy individuals are required to wear face masks.’ Rep. Hanks defended her bill by saying she had done some research and claimed that people forgot other safety precautions when wearing a face mask, like physical distancing and washing hands.”
