1. Sleeves are masks for our arms. We shouldn't have to wear 'em.

2. Masks are like burkas

The GOP religion is making its demands.

3. Funny how that works, isn't it?

4. It's not hypocrisy.

It’s just a philosophy.

No one has the right to tell me what to do so I only do what I want.
I have a perfect right to tell others what to do because they must do what I want.
It’s simple.

5. Professionalism is why a female Republican legislator

proposed the change. Male legislators wear jackets, shirts and ties, so Ann Kelley thought women legislators should also dress with professionalism. A jacket or a cardigan was considered as appropriately professional.

With men in professional attire, requiring professional attire of women doesn't seem out of line. It helps women be treated with respect and as an equal. Especially in a red state like Missouri.

6. So who's going to sew a bunch of masks together to make sleeves and wear them on the House floor? nt

7. Make a mask out of your sleeves. Then what? nt
