'They want to control every facet of your lives!': Moody blasts Democrats over masking, distancing

A Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee hearing turned into a heated political exchange as Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Fla.) sharply criticized Democratic Socialists while discussing COVID-19-era masking, vaccines and social distancing policies. During the hearing, Moody argued that pandemic restrictions reflected excessive government control, describing Democratic Socialists as an "extreme authoritarian group" and criticizing policies involving mask mandates, vaccine requirements and social distancing.
