“Well, they haven’t reached me. I know I talked to the CEO of the Cleveland Clinic the other day, who gave me an update, who gave me a report, so I don’t know if they’ve reached Cleveland. Whether the clinic is there or not.” “They haven’t talked to me about it, no,” the Republican governor told CNN’s Jack Tapper on “State the Union.”
The president took part in the first presidential debate against Democrat J B Biden in Cleveland last week. Dwyane said he did not participate in the discussion, but Tapper admitted he wanted the president to wear a mask more often.
“I want to – see if I want the president to wear a mask all the time? Of course. You know,” he said.
Still, Dyne added: “You know, when people vote, there are other things, you know, besides that.”
Divine and his wife announced Friday that they have tested negative for the virus. Asked on Sunday whether he was concerned that the president had put his citizens at risk for the virus infection, Dyne told Tapper he was not offended, but said he hoped people would learn from it.
“This should be a kind of warning to everyone that anyone can get the virus, even the president of the United States,” he said. “So we should use this and just, you know, learn from it and so people who haven’t worn masks in the past, you know, I hope they pay attention to this and say, ‘Look at the president. Get it. Maybe, I can get it and it can happen to anyone. ‘I hope that’s what happens and it comes out of this.’
