On Saturday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Cross Connection," Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) stated that requiring children to wear masks in school is "a life-saving measure. So, the federal government, at some point, will have to step in." And said he supports "stringent policies that will protect everyone, particularly those people that have already vaccinated themselves and don't want to have a breakthrough episode, as we see happening all over the country."
