House Republicans Seethe as Pelosi Orders Mask-Wearing in Committees
COVER YOUR MOUTH

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asked committee chairpeople to enforce mask-wearing in all hearings in a move set to infuriate some Republican members of Congress who have defiantly refused to cover their faces. The Washington Post reports that, late Tuesday, Pelosi authorized the sergeant at arms to refuse entry to anyone who was not wearing a mask. “This requirement will be enforced by the Sergeant at Arms and noncompliant Members will be denied entry,” a senior aide told the paper. “Ultimately, Chairs will have the option of not recognizing Members in committee proceedings that fail to comply with the mask requirement.” Masks have become politicized by President Trump’s consistent refusal to wear one in public. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) is particularly upset by the idea of covering his mouth, telling CNN last month: “It’s part of the dehumanization of the children of God. You’re participating in it by wearing a mask.” Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) previously said there’s “no need” to wear a mask because he believes in “herd immunity.”

No assholes, no one else in congress wants to catch the virus from YOU. You want herd immunity, go back to your hog pen, Jethro.

How about you get yourself to Donnie's Tulsa rally and get out there in the crowd and take lots of deep breaths. Herd immunity, bro.

If wearing a mask is dehumanizing how about wearing clothes in general? Take off your pants, jesusboy.

Get masks printed up with Trump’s mouth pucker at its tightest new moon phase so every Dem they come in contact with has to look at the hideous thing. I don’t care what they have to do to assuage their hurt feelings about wearing a mask, just wear a damn mask!
