Florida Man Calls Coronavirus “Fake Pandemic” In Tirade Over Wearing A Mask
A Florida man went on a two-minute, profanity-laced tirade at a Miami Beach officer after he was asked to put on a mask.
“This is a false flag, a fake pandemic,” the man can be heard screaming in a video from the incident.
“You are in violation of my (expletive) constitutional rights and my civil rights,” the man screams.

According to CNN, the officer was doing a routine check at a Publix when the incident occurred. The officer informs the man that the store is private property and that he must wear a mask to come in, however, the man refuses and continues to scream.
“You’re terrorists,” and “There is no pandemic.” he adds.
Another customer wearing a mask then intervenes and tells the man to leave,
“Get away if you don’t give a sh*t. We have a right to give a sh*t,” the customer yells. “You go away.”
The unruly customer was not cited in anyway following the incident.
“Yelling or cursing at city workers who are putting themselves at risk and are just doing their job is really unacceptable,” Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber said of the incident. “The City isn’t going to begin arresting people for not wearing masks or violating social distancing rules. But we need you to please follow these procedures even if you disagree with them.”
