 The View/ABCDemocrats and the Biden campaign have been relentless in attacking President Donald Trump and his campaign for continuing to hold large rallies during the coronavirus pandemic. But during an appearance on The View Wednesday morning, Dr. Jill Biden seemed to imply that Trump supporters are demonstrating a lack of personal responsibility as well.

She said the COVID-19 response must be a "public health issue" as opposed to a "political issue," adding, "And if you are not going to wear your mask for yourself, wear it for your neighbor who is undergoing chemotherapy and her immune system is down, wear it for the little boy down the street who has asthma and he could get sick or his grandmom could get sick. Do it for someone else if you are not going to do it for yourself."

"I am proud to be a governor that puts her trust in our people because they are responsible, they are resilient and they will do the right thing," Reynolds said soon after.
