House Republicans, Staffers Protest Latest Mask Mandate

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi pushed a mask mandate in the House portion of buildings in D.C. The Capitol Police chose to enforce her mandate, threatening people with arrest if they do not comply with Dear Leader’s mandate.

The mandate does not apply to the Senate portion of buildings.

House Republicans and staffers crossed onto the Senate side to protest the mandate.

From Fox News:

“Congressman Roy said it succinctly on the House floor Wednesday: ‘We have a crisis at our border and we’re playing footsie with mask mandates in the people’s house,’” a Roy spokesperson told Fox News in an email.”The fact that Speaker Pelosi is willing to have vaccinated staffers arrested for not complying with her mask mandate while the border remains wide open tells you all you need to know,” they continued. “This isn’t about science. It’s about politics and control.”Cawthorn told Fox News in a Thursday statement that the Republicans who left the House chamber to protest the mask mandate “took a firm stance on individual liberty.””Along with the majority of Americans, we rejected the totalitarian, hypocritical, and arbitrary ruling from Speaker Pelosi demanding masks be worn in the House,” Cawthorn said. “My staff should never fear arrest because they practice individual responsibility.”
