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 Lincoln’s 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, it’s 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.

I’ve heard good things about him.

Neil Parrot is Maryland is another. He just won his primary for Congress and is a lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against the RINO governor for his unconstitutional actions.

Asked to leave?

Politely decline and go about your day. Make them arrest you. Sit down on the floor and have the local fascists drag you out. And live stream it.

Take a day
And walk around
Watch the Nazi’s
Run your town
Then go home and check yourself
You think we’re singing ‘bout someone else...
But you’re plastic people
Now baby you’re such a drag

“Leaders is a term that we should never use. I prefer the term Ted Nugent coined: Elected Employees.”

but I would add “Elected Employees of the People”. They need reminded of their position constantly. BTW I like to remind the medical community that I am their customer. A “patient” is meant to suggest something of slightly lesser status.

Dr. Michael (Rachel) Levine really can't be issuing orders. Yes, I know he/she/it has these powers due to a health emergency order being declared, but Pa's numbers are dropping, and their "emergency" powers should be rescinded immediately. This is becoming abuse of power.

Dr. (formerly Richard now) "Rachel" Levine.

I don't do dictates from Dickless.
