   They’re unmasked and they intend to stay that way.   
      
   A group of House Republicans showed their uncovered faces in the chamber   
   Tuesday in defiance of rules set out by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)   
   despite the recent change in federal guidance for the vaccinated.   
      
   At one point, firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) posted a   
   selfie with three of her mask-free colleagues and the Twitter hashtag   
   “#Freeyourface.”   
      
   “Masks are oppressive and nothing but a political tool,” Greene wrote in   
   her post. “End the oppression!”   
      
   The current House rule states that masks must be worn in the chamber   
   except when speaking during debate, though members can go without masks in   
   House office buildings and elsewhere in the Capitol complex. Rule-breakers   
   are fined $500 for a first offense and $2,500 for a second.

    Masks are oppressive and nothing but a political tool.   
   End the oppression!

   The leader of this rebellion appears to be Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.).   
   Politico reported Tuesday that the Army veteran interrupted a Republican   
   conference meeting to tell his colleagues he was “done” wearing masks and   
   would not wear them on the House floor going forward. Last week, Mast rose   
   during a House vote and asked “that given the updated CDC guidance, we all   
   take off these stupid masks.”   
      
   “I’m just not gonna play her stupid game that falls somewhere between dog-   
   and-pony show, smoke-and-mirrors, and pure manipulation,” Mast told Fox   
   News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Friday of Pelosi’s rule.   
      
   On Tuesday afternoon, CNN producer Kristin Wilson spotted a member of the   
   House Sergeant at Arms staff speaking with Mast as he sat on the House   
   Floor listening to speeches. After a brief conversation, the staffer   
   walked away.   
      
   “I am listening to the CDC scientists,” Mast tweeted after Wilson noted   
   the encounter. “Why isn’t [Pelosi]?”   
      
   CNN correspondent Manu Raju identified others going without masks on the   
   floor as Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Mary   
   Miller (R-Ill.), Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas), Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and Chip   
   Roy (R-Texas).   
      
   Pelosi has estimated that around 75 percent of House members are fully   
   vaccinated, which she insists is not enough to return to pre-pandemic   
   operations. She told reporters last month that she cannot force reluctant   
   members to get the shots due to privacy concerns.   
      
   No House members have reported a positive coronavirus test since late   
   January.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed   
   dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
