Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has drawn scrutiny after posting a series of tweets that show him visiting Lower Broadway in Nashville without a mask.

The tweets, posted Thursday evening, showed a maskless Lee mingling with honky-tonk and shop owners, chatting with people outside and shaking hands with a musician in close proximity. Lee has not yet received his coronavirus vaccine, according to spokesperson Casey Black.

Most of the people Lee was pictured with were also maskless.
