Give me a break.
Vice President Kamala Harris is demanding senators and guests over the age of two have a negative COVID test to take a photo with her after the swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday:
The requirements straight out of 2021 were outlined in an email from the veep’s office to the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms — who, in turn, blasted it out to individual Senate offices.“We look forward to welcoming your Senator on January 3, 2023, to the ceremonial reenactment for incoming and newly re-elected Senators in the Old Senate Chamber,” wrote Grisella Martinez, Harris’ director of legislative affairs. “As you are aware, White House COVID-19 protocols require that anyone over two-years of age who will interact with the Vice President take a medically-administered antigen test within 24 hours prior to interaction, and receive a negative result. This policy applies regardless of vaccination status.”Martinez went on to say that prospective participants in the ceremony can get tested Tuesday morning in a Senate office building or send results of a “medically administered” test to a White House email address before 9 a.m. The tests must be taken within the 24-hour period from 1 p.m. Tuesday to 1 p.m. Wednesday.
Yes, Harris is demanding you test your toddler.
Harris will swear in the 35 elected senators at 12:00 PM ET on Tuesday.
The actual ceremony happens in small groups. Senators can do it again one-on-one with Harris and then take a photo. Their family remembers usually join in the photo.
That might not happen this year:
“This many years into the pandemic, especially as the Biden administration is in court currently trying to argue the pandemic is over and it should be allowed to lift Title 42 authority at the border, this is beyond ridiculous,” one source close to a senator told Breitbart News. “Senators’ children and grandchildren should not be subjected to this insanity so Kamala can pretend to care about fighting coronavirus. At what point does the madness end?”Some senators, sources familiar with the matter said, are apparently so upset they might not participate in the photo ceremony with Harris and may instead snub the vice president on the first day of the new Congress.
This video has nothing to do with the story but is hilarious.
