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.                     Marjorie Taylor Greene ????       @mtgreenee       #FreeYourFace        Masks are oppressive and nothing but a political tool.       End the oppression!       1:21 PM · May 18, 2021       8.4K       2.2K       Share this Tweet              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.                            --       "LOCKDOWN", left-wing COVID fearmongering. 95% of COVID infections       recover with no after effects.              No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.       Officially made Nancy Pelosi a two-time impeachment loser.              Donald J.

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.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
