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 Lincolns 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, its going to continue to happen, she said, vowing that she would not wear a face mask when she is not sick.
Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine this week issued an order that everyone wear masks in any situations, inside or out, where they are unable to maintain a six-foot social distance.
Keller made headlines in May when she refused to have her temperature taken at the Ohio Statehouse, calling it an invasion of privacy.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, she recently lost an Ohio Senate bid to Republican Rep. George Lang. Her House term expires at the end of 2020.

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
My Ohio rep is Nino Vitale and he feels the same way.
It’s the beginning of 666.
Can I go, wear the mask through most of the tour and right before I leave take off my mask and taunt the ranger with my refusal in order to get a full refund?
So she didn’t use the “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!” line then?
That's what Karens say.
Or Karen’s husband in the case of Michigan guv witchmer.
The local gettysburg senator Doug Mastriano from PA will be there tomorrow i believe. He leads the no mask legislators here in PA.

Doug Mastriano is planning a run for Governor in 2022!
Wolf has hit term limits (thank G-d!)
But a lame duck cornered wolf is still very dangerous.
Refusal to leave in considered “Defiant Trespass” in Pennsylvania.
§18-3503(b)1 - Third degree misdemeanor.
He will absolutely have the support of my wife and I. We watch his Facebook Live updates most nights.
Oh my! A 3rd degree no less. Guess we’d all better fall in line.
In some states you can shoot folks for that.
If you don’t want to follow park guidelines then don’t go to the park. Simple as that.
She lost her primary so saying, "Do you know who I am? I'm a future former member of the Ohio legislature" probably wouldn't have gotten her far.
How about “DO YOU KNOW WHO I USED TO BE?”. LOL!
Theres a critical point where she is wrong.
Leaders is a term that we should never use. I prefer the term Ted Nugent coined: Elected Employees.
Except when it comes to mentally diseases trannys like Levine who are appointed by elected employees.
We travelled through Ohio yesterday. Masks are optional there.
Actually as an American, masks are optional everywhere. I wont put one on unless challenged by a store employee
