McConaughey argued that the issue had become too politicized and advocated for masks as small sacrifices that would eventually pay dividends. He downplayed conservatives concerns about masks.
"I'm like, come on man, I'm not believing you're really scared of this little cotton thing," he continued. "And I'm not believing you really feel that takes away your identity and your freedom. This is a short-term inconvenience for long-term freedom."
It's unclear whether McConaughey will run as a Republican against Governor Abbott or as an independent, if he chooses to run.
