Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers on Thursday slapped down the state's Republican-controlled legislature repeal of his statewide mask mandate by issuing a new order.
"Every step of the way, our statewide strategies to contain this virus and prevent the spread have been met with lawsuits, political rhetoric and obstruction," Evers said in a video posted to Twitter. "Unfortunately, that happened again today, when Republicans in the legislature came in to vote down our state's public health emergency and end requiring face coverings in public places."
"That's why today we will be issuing a new public health emergency order requiring face coverings in public places," Evers added.
Evers' comments come shortly after the Republican legislature voted to repeal Evers' statewide mask mandate, with Wisconsin Republicans arguing that the Democratic governor exceeded his authority by continuing to extend the statewide mandate without legislative approval every 60 days.
In response, Evers has contended that due to the ongoing pandemic and how it has continued to infect residents in the state, he has the authority to issue several emergency health orders and impose mask mandates.
In his video posted to Twitter, Evers also touched on how repealing the statewide mask mandate has been opposed by numerous organizations and residents across the state.

Tony is trying to be a bigger ahole than his counterpart to the west.
Where did Dr. Evers do his residency?
Is it about getting cred, whoever can be the greatest dictator might get to be President someday?
Governors are now Kings.
I love it when they eat their own.
The next move is up to the state legislature.
Do they have the cojones?
I’m ordering more popcorn.
Hey, asshole. You can issue all the “emergency orders” you want, but the good people of Wisconsin will ignore them...MASSIVELY!
Your “orders” aren’t worth a bucket of warm spit.
Power to the people!
Repeal the governor’s authority to issue emergency orders.
The Founding Fathers warned us about scumbags like him.
All the communists are on the march...
Their motto is: “Leave no freedom in tact... Plow the fields... Salt the earth... Kill all who resist...”
Dictators just gotta dictate.
The republicans need to find their manhood and fight this hard.
The problem is, we’re about rule of law and the left accuses us of *not caring* and too many saps believe it because they think the masks really do something besides make them feel good.
Do we no longer have rule of law in this country Democrats?
Impeach him. Or at least remove his ability to issue emergencies.
Remember when Evers secretly recorded a meeting with the leaders of both state houses? Yea, good times.
They need to stand up to him. He has zero respect for our state laws.
We do, the rats 🐀 don’t.
“Where did Dr. Evers do his residency?”
I believe he studied with Dr. Cuomo, who specializes in geriatric epidemiology.
Our gutless repubs have failed us in the state. Too scared to reel in the dictator. Too afraid of losing federal funds and too scared of business backlash, because having a govt mandate takes private business of the hook if they want the masks. They dont have to put a sign up and monitor their store then.
Whole damn stage is gutless, we dont have anyone in office that fights and doesnt stop.
Antichrist and the nwo is coming folks. Our side wont fight against it. We dont fight for lesser stuff, it wont fight for the harder stuff.
Gates and soros and company are going to kill off a lot of people, covid is in the process of sterilizing men, the vaccines are going to sterilize the women, and the great reset wil occur without anyone on our side fighting against it.
Good going everyone in power representing us.
.. “Tony Evers now acts no differently than a dictator in control of a banana republic.” Nass says he will draft another senate joint resolution to end today's emergency declaration. Also wants Senate to "consider filing for an emergency action in the Wisconsin Supreme Court.”
Shortly after Republicans move to overturn public health declaration, Evers issues a new one.
