An Ohio GOP lawmaker and doctor who last year described Black Americans as "colored" in questioning their hygiene as it relates to contracting COVID-19 will now lead the state Senate Health Committee, according to the Associated Press.

This past June, state Sen. Stephen Huffman, an emergency room doctor, openly questioned the coronavirus prevention methods of Black Americans while speaking with Angela Dawson, a Black woman and the executive director of the Ohio Commission on Minority Health.

"I understand African Americans have higher instances of chronic conditions that makes them more susceptible to death from COVID," Huffman said. "But why does that make them more susceptible just to get COVID?"

He added: "Could it just be that African Americans - or the colored population - do not wash their hands as well as other groups? Or wear masks? Or do not socially distance themselves? Could that just be the explanation of why there's a higher incidence?"

1. I question the hygiene of redhat states like Arizona & Dakotas. Do whites predominate there?

that racist walking out of a bathroom without washing his hands, ‘cause you just know he doesn’t.

3. Pretty much all my brothers and sisters in humanity of color are masked.

More of the 'others' NOT.

A neighbor out on a walk remarked last week when I said hey, "Oh, you're wearing a mask?" "Yeah, my doc said wear one every time you go out the door."
