Speaking to Insider, Paul called out public officials for their handling of the pandemic, but took no personal responsibility.
“No one has answers, our leadership is failing us, and everyone kind of just doesn’t know what to do,” he said. “But I personally am not the type of person who’s gonna sit around and not live my life.”
On Twitter, fellow YouTuber Tyler Oakley responded to Paul’s statement with a brief, “f**k you.”

“They’re having this large party, no social distancing, no masks, it’s just a big, huge disregard for everything that everybody is trying to do to get things back to functioning,” Weintraub told FOX 11 at the time.
