Sheriff Judd: 'When President Trump comes here, he don’t have to wear a mask'

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd declined to answer a question about COVID-19 masks on Friday, hours after the White House confirmed President Trump had tested positive for the virus.

At a press conference about the arrest of a carjacker, an unidentified reporter asked the sheriff why, in light of the president’s news, Judd and his staff do not wear masks.

This man will not enforce an unconditional edict. That means that he’ll most likely support those that engage in self-defense. I’m all for this.

Ive lost a grandma and anaunt to it. They both wore masks. My grandma was 96. She was on her last leg as it was. My aunt was addicted to pills and diabetic. She was a ticking time bomb...The losses sucked and covid played a roll. However, the flu wouldve killed them too. A mild infection could've done them in as well. Life could get any of us at any time. Forcing people to wear a mask is wrong...its so pathetic how many people feel the need to force this on others. I wear one because Im not trying to bring home a relatively unknown sickness to my kids, but I would NEVER tell someone they had to do it.

Looks like he is talking about the guy in the picture and he’s asking for questions about whatever is going on and they changed it to why aren’t you wearing a mask and look at us now only seeing a story about wearing a mask not the guy in the picture suggested by YouTube

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Grady Judd is a no nonsense alpha who puts up with zero bullshit.
You don't have to have a psychology degree to know what kind of person would have a problem with that.
Now enjoy all the people outing themselves in the comments.

Damn right a free America where you make your own decisions

[aaronjohnmaughan]

Winks at him like the reporter is a little boy. Put that in your story, little boy.

[patriciabentley]

Maybe he should have waited to make this announcement since the president's now in the hospital

[simpleanduniqe]

I would love to shake your hand sir !!
Nicely done, ,, respect!!!

[teddymarie]

Sheriff ? STAND YOUR GROUND With That Audience ! Wink Wink.

[samcgilbert]

He should be made the Sheriff of the country.

[talltexan]

Please President Trump make Sheriff Judd the next Director of the FBI.

Love Sheriff Grady Judd! that's my sheriff as a resident of Polk County!

I guess public safety is not a concern. It's more important to look cool. This is way the police is having public relations problems. Went from protect and serve the public to protect and serve my ego. This clown is on the news every night. It really seems like he pays for this air time. They don't interview any other sheriff from any other county?

[angelaollila]

I absolutely LOVE Sheriff Judd. He’s absolutely amazing at his job. He caught my sick and evil murderous ex boyfriend. He’s simply awesomeness. The way he told that reporter off was great. 😊👏🏻👏🏻

This guy is unbelievable! Only acts like he cares about the community. Also he thinks he is the judge, jury and executioner. Going on tv and potentially ruining any chance of impartial jury. How do the city officials allow this type behavior.

[metroduck]

We love you, Sheriff!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Asians for Trump 2020!!.... The Man with Balls of Steel.

[neskorock]

His answer is blunt and clear. Love it. Reporters, you need to have a better question.
