It’s just so simple. Wearing a face mask has been proven to prevent the spread and transmission of the coronavirus. Yet President Donald Trump, 74, has made it a political issue by stubbornly refusing to wear one. Now former President George W. Bush‘s Vice President Dick Cheney has come forward to show that he’s all in favor of wearing masks, and that “real men” wear them. His daughter, Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, 53, shared the photo of her 79-year-old dad wearing a blue face mask to her Twitter account on June 26. Her caption read, “Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK,” and included the hashtag”#realmenwearmasks,” which a number of people on Twitter thought was total shade towards Trump’s mask refusals.
