It’s not clear if Republicans considered the comparison between their opposition to masks and the thinking of Neanderthals offensive to Republicans or to Neanderthals. jonathanchait writes

Photo: Bloomberg/Bloomberg via Getty Images Earlier this week, Texas governor Greg Abbott repealed his state’s requirement for mask wearing in crowded public spaces. President Biden scolded the decision. “I hope everybody realizes by now that masks make a big difference. We are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because of the way in which we are able to get vaccines,” he told reporters.

The Wall Street Journal’s editors, probably filing from their fainting couch, complained that their delicate ears were offended by the president’s coarse analogy. “Democrats are applauding Mr. Biden,” the editors moaned, “but imagine if Donald Trump had attacked Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s lockdown as ‘Neanderthal thinking.’”

Even more amazingly, the Journal’s editors are using this contretemps to argue that Biden is attempting to prolong coronavirus restrictions for no good reason. If you recall, conservatives promoted a theory under the Trump administration that Democratic governors and public-health officials were fomenting excessive fear and shutting down the economy in order to hurt Trump’s reelection campaign.
