The comedian and internet personality, known for the parodies “GOP Dropout” and “Randy Rainbow Interviews Donald Trump,” takes aim at the president’s refusal to wear a face mask in this hilarious video.
Rainbow appears to interview the president at a press conference. “Covid cases continue to rise around the country,” Rainbow begins. He goes on to say that President Trump asked to slow down testing to make the numbers look better, and isn’t requiring people to wear masks at his rallies.
Rainbow asks, “don’t you think you should be following CDC guidelines and leading by example?”
Randy then shows off masks that President Trump could wear, including an oversized face mask of Hillary Clinton. The president responds that he won’t be wearing a mask, even though it is highly recommended by health experts.
The comedian then breaks into song, in the tune of “Put on A Happy Face” from Bye Bye Birdie. “You’re looking awful grouchy, cover your freakin’ face,” Rainbow belts out. “Listen to Dr. Fauci, cover your freakin’ face.”
“Don’t wait around for herd immunity, you reckless thug,” Rainbow sings to Trump. “And what a golden opportunity to hide that mug.”
The comedian also recommends taking a cue from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who takes mask wearing to the next level, coordinating them with her outfits.
“Maybe if we can’t see your mouth you won’t say stupid s***,” Rainbow chides. “Girl, just put a paper bag over that thing.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing a face covering to slow the spread of the coronavirus. They are most likely to the virus from spreading when they are used by many, if not all people, in public settings. Although a mask may not protect the wearer, it keeps them from spreading the virus to others.
The use of these protective face masks, along with social distancing, constantly washing your hands, and disinfecting frequently touched items and surfaces, are all recommended by the CDC.
As of Monday, June 29, more than 10 million people have tested positive for the coronavirus worldwide since the pandemic began, according to the World Health Organization and Johns Hopkins University’s data.
