but the Trump presidency convinced me it is real, and spreading.
I will be calling Bill Lee's office tomorrow to give whoever answers the phone a polite reality check.

He's taken on no leadership whatsoever in state's ongoing pandemic and refuses to take any position which might be the least bit controversial, such as mandating mask usage.

Then well see how fast he acknowledges President Biden (good or bad).
