NOT IN THE LONE STAR: Texas AG Paxton Suing Biden Admin, CDC for Airport Mask Mandates

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.17.22

Texas continues its push to eliminate mask mandates everywhere and anywhere within state lines. This time, Attorney General Ken Paxton is going after the Biden Administration for “illegal” mask mandates in airports —it’s time to “strike down” these requirements, he says.

According to the Daily Wire, “Paxton filed the lawsuit alongside the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) on behalf of Republican Rep. Beth Van Duyne. The case was filed against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Director Rochelle Walensky, Chief of Staff Sherri Berger, and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.”

“Biden’s repeated disregard of the individual liberties of Texans is not only disrespectful to the U.S. Constitution, it is also troublesome that any president thinks they can act above the law while hard working Americans standby,” Paxton said in a statement.

“President Biden cannot continue governing through executive edicts. Now is the time to strike down his administration’s air-travel mask mandate. I’m proud to stand alongside my friend Congresswoman Van Duyne and her counsel at TPPF to protect Texans’ liberty and the rule of law,” he added.

Paxton shared news of the lawsuit on Twitter:

“Just filed my 22nd suit against Biden, this time regarding anti-science, virtue-signaling masks on airlines & airports. Masks on planes are not only silly, but illegal too. Proud to join @TPPF, @robhenneke, @Bethvanduyne in restraining Dems’ lawless gov’t. End the mask mandates!”
