Like other leaders across the U.S., Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) reminded his constituents ahead of the Thanksgiving Day to be cautious about COVID-19. But instead of handing down government dictates ahead of the festivities, Parson did just the opposite: he reminded Missourians of their rights, and vowed not to step on them.
"The holidays are coming, and as the Governor of the State of Missouri, I am not going to mandate who goes in the front door of your home," the former law enforcement officer tweeted. "Government has no business going through the front door of your homes to decide how many members of your family are there, how many are not."
