Ohio lawmaker says she refused to wear mask, was asked to leave Gettysburg Visitor Center

https://www.pennlive.com/news/2020/07/ohio-lawmaker-says-she-refused-to-wear-mask-was-asked-to-leave-gettysburg-visitor-center.html

A Republican Ohio state official is claiming in a video shared to Facebook Thursday that she was asked to leave the Gettysburg Visitor Center and Museum for refusing to wear a mask.

In a Facebook video, first reported by The Hill, Rep. Candice Keller, after reading Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address in front of the Soldiers National Monument, said she and her husband were asked to leave the Gettysburg Welcome Center on Thursday because they would not wear face masks.

"This is not a law in Pennsylvania or in Ohio, where I come from, and it is an unconstitutional idea that our leaders have come up with," she said.

She said they chose not to argue, were refunded the cost of their tickets and left.

“We are losing our rights in this country and until you stand up to those who would diminish your freedom and liberty, it’s going to continue to happen,” she said, vowing that she would not wear a face mask when she is not sick.

This ignorant person should have been refused admittance as soon as she arrived without a mask.
