- Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly introduced an executive order on Friday, mandating most people in the state to wear face masks to protect against the coronavirus.
- That same day, local newspaper The Anderson County Review published a cartoon depicting Kelly in a mask emblazoned with a Star of David, before a scene appearing to show Jewish people being deported to Nazi concentration camps.
- The paper's owner Dane Hicks is the chairman of the Anderson County Republican Party.
- Despite widespread criticism of the image, Hicks refused to apologize and called Kelly's actions "totalitarian."
- Mask-wearing has become politically divisive. Those against wearing face masks have skewed right believing they threaten individual freedom.
