Georgia’s governor on Friday linked mask mandates to unemployment, arguing his job requires balancing lives and jobs.

“This is not about masks. We all agree it’s good to wear a mask, in the right situation. This is about protecting the livelihoods of our citizens,” Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp told reporters at the State Capitol Building after meeting with officials.
