Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to “end the charade” and allow congressmembers to speak on the House floor without masks, according to a letter first obtained by Breitbart News.
Boebert in her letter, dated April 30, points to President Joe Biden’s speech he gave in the House chamber Wednesday to a joint session of Congress during which he did not wear a mask, while Pelosi and Vice President Kamala Harris, who sat behind him, did wear masks. All three have been vaccinated.
In December, Pelosi tightened her coronavirus rules by requiring congressmembers to wear masks when they give floor speeches in the House chamber, and the speaker has set a $500 fine for anyone who violates the requirement as well as a $2,500 fine for a second offense.
“I write to express my frustration at the inconsistent rules you have imposed for the sake of political theater on the House Floor,” Boebert begins in her letter. “Your own rules state that speakers on the House Floor must wear a mask for the duration of their speech or face a $500 fine, yet, you allowed President Biden to speak for over an hour with his mask off.”

Didn’t Gropin’ Joe get fist bumps without falling down? So much for the six-foot socialist distancing rule.
Conform or be ostracized by the ruling cabal, which is allowed to whatever the hell they want.
And everybody dreads being ostracized.
But now we know the rules of engagement.
Reminds me of the lyrics from the Rush song “Subdivisions”:
“Conform or be cast out”
‘But now we know the rules of engagement.’
people have feared, and acted upon, the dread of being ostrasized since cavemen first started sharing shelters and establishing ‘rules of engagement...’
The proper response would be to not wear the mask, and those $174,000/year house members pay the $500.
The Rush song was the first thing I thought of too.
Congress should be tested daily for halitosis before unmasking and Pelosi should personally administer the breath test.
John Kerry flew without one.
I KNEW we were gonn’a love this lady !
When the pubbies regain control they should institute a rule that requires dhimmicrats to wear a sack over their heads. You know, for safety.
Where do these idiot, criminal, narcissistic, megalomaniacal politicians come from?
Every little home town and out of the way burg that all you sum-bitches live in!
Mother may I. Cut the crap. Just don’t wear the mask.
The masks are a symbol of submission to the fascist pelosi.
