Pelosi makes it official: She is now officially requesting committee chairs enforce House rules and require members at committee proceedings to wear masks. “This requirement will be enforced by the Sergeant at Arms and non-compliant Members will be denied entry,” aide says

We will see if this comes to a head Wednesday during the House Judiciary vote on the police reform measure. Several Republicans on that panel - including Jim Jordan, Louie Gohmert and Andy Biggs - have not been wearing masks in the House.

“The Speaker is requesting that Committee Chairs invoke their authority under Rule 11 to enforce rules of decorum and exclude Members who fail to comply. Members always have the option to participate in committee proceedings virtually, including from their“ offices, aide says

1. Well, it's her House.

[napi21]

2. GOOD! I'm pretty sure it's Repugs who are refusing to wear one, and if they can't be part of the

voting, THEIR constituents will just not have representation.

[calimary]

25. And that's just fine with me!

That's what you get when you vote for selfish fucking BONEHEADS, voters! Adult-sized children who yowl about how nobody gets to tell them what to do. Even when it involves simple consideration about other people's safety and health and wellbeing.

[pazzyanne]

37. I'm really hoping that Jim Jordan is the first to be detained by the Sargeant at Arms.

[MontanaMama]

3. You know what?

I feel personality threatened when people around me do not wear masks in public places. Similarly, I feel the same when I see a MAGA hat. Madame Speaker is making sure people feel and are safe at work. That is her right and responsibility. Fuck these people who won’t wear a mask.

6. Me, too

When I see someone wearing a mask but have it pulled down below their nose I feel so irritated. It's irresponsible. And it looks gross to me, too.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

23. I posted about people hanging thier nose out

Of their masks. Fucking inconsiderate stupid or both.

[littlemissmartypants]

11. Ditto. ❤ nt

[mountain grammy]

12. Agree!

[JDC]

15. I agree. They know it and like that "power" though.

And to echo your wise words: Fuck these people who don't wear masks.

[luvtheGWN]

17. No MAGA hats up here in the Great White North

and no American tourists either, until at least July 22 - if not longer. But I too feel threatened if folks aren't wearing a mask. Thankfully nearly everyone in my town does.

[Disaffected]

24. You are lucky.

Went to Home Depot in Calgary today and maybe 1/4 of those there were wearing a mask. At least pretty much everyone seems to respect social distancing however.

[iluvtennis]

18. Well said - agree. nt

[calimary]

26. What I see is the offender is actually wearing a SELFISHNESS mask!

Or an IDIOT mask.

Or a "HI, I'M THOUGHTLESS" mask.

Or a PRIDE-IN-IGNORANCE mask.

Or a SCREW YOU mask.

You can see it all over their (bare) faces.

“This requirement will be enforced by the Sergeant at Arms and non-compliant Members will be denied entry,” aide says


Go Nancy!

7. "Members always have the option to participate in committee proceedings virtually..."

It's harder to grandstand "virtually".

[Cha]

8. Yay, Nancy! Especially after the R State Senate in PA

had a member who tested positive.. and didn't tell the Dems!!@

Pa. House Democrats say they were in the dark for a week about Republican's positive coronavirus test

27. You are aware that a Congressman was just diagnosed with COVID 19 -

and was likely contagious at the time he was refusing to wear a mask on the floor or the House, yes?

This is not just a theoretical, it-happened-somewhere-else matter.

10. A SC Congressman who refused to wear a mask now has Covid, and his family--

And he's STILL refusing to wear a mask because-- he actually said this-- it only protects other people, not him.
Also he called it the "Wuhan flu."

Asshole. Tim Rice.

[mountain grammy]

13. Guess he survived it.. pity.

[flibbitygiblets]

22. 🤣

[Ms. Toad]

28. Jury may still be out on that. He just announced yesterday

that he and his family are all infected.

[dawg day]

32. Oh, he's boastfully averring it was no big deal--

But I gather his wife and son suffered more.

And he's walking around now unmasked. He's probably still contagious.

[JI7]

21. Pretty much what being a Republican is all about these days

[GETPLANING]

14. Republicans are known to test positive for COVID-19 and not tell their Democratic colleagues

So... time to enforce some policy going forward

20. Biggs is my piece of shit rep

Total ANTI AMERICAN SCUMBAG WHO SUPPORTS DOTURDS TREASON.

Unfortunately, my district is loaded with Mormons who vote "R' no matter what...even if Hitler was on the ballot.
Jesus fucking Christ himself if he came back would be vilified by these fucking asshole imbeciles as a "libtard".

I can't wait to retire and leave this fucking shithole district.

[GusFring]

29. Anything she can do to force Trump's admin to show up and testify. Or to make the irs hand over his

taxes?

[Poiuyt]

30. I'm just happy to have Jim Jordan wearing his pants

[lonely bird]

36. I am in NE Ohio. He's not my rep

But he is an embarrassment to Ohio.

[yonder]

31. Gonna be fun to see them removed after gaining entry...

...for pushing Madame Speaker by letting their masks droop, slide down to their necks, off, etc. Of course, how many will take a page out of Gaetz's book by showing up in full face respirators just to be the little snots they are?

[bluestarone]

34. WOW!!! love it!!!

It's the RIGHT thing to do!!! Now watch MCTURTLE stop ALL senators from wearing masks.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

35. Good. Let the pukes throw their puky tantrums.

Keep the little shits out of the governing process, if they can’t act like decent human beings.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

39. Madam Speaker is setting a good example for America, especially for our youth.

Unlike the careless, arrogant arsehole on PA Ave.

She gave Rethugs plenty of rope and freedom. They showed their colors and hung themselves.....

[rurallib]

46. Is Gohmert smart enough to be able to get a mask on right?

Guess that is what they have staff for.
