Several Republicans today made a bit of a scene today on the House floor by refusing to follow Pelosi’s mask mandate and calling on her to follow the science:
A heated scene on the House floor just a little bit ago. Around 8 or so Republicans are refusing to wear masks & standing by the well of the chamber.
A Dem member went over and confronted a few them. Rep. Thomas Massie shouted back: “I can’t hear you” with your mask on.

That’s awesome. Pelosi is just Fauci in a dress, forcing vaccinated members to wear masks even after the CDC’s latest guidance.
Thomas Massie took to Twitter to explain why they are refusing to play theater by wearing masks:
We’ve had enough. We are refusing to wear our masks on the floor during this vote in spite of Pelosi’s threat to take $500 from each of us.
Her rule is not based on science. All you need to know is the mask rule has only ever applied to members when they can be seen on TV !
