WASHINGTON -- Republicans are rebelling against the requirement that they wear a mask on the House floor, stoking tensions with majority Democrats who are refusing to change the rules following updated guidance from federal health officials.
Some GOP lawmakers opted to keep their masks off during votes Tuesday, with a few taking particular care to stand in the well of the chamber to ensure that spectators, colleagues and C-SPAN’s cameras could not miss them.
Their defiance could come at a financial cost. Lawmakers who refuse to wear masks are subject to a fine of $500 for the first offense. Subsequent offenses can result in a $2,500 fine. In practice, however, the House sergeant-at-arms is providing a warning for the first offense.
Seven lawmakers will be getting such warnings, according to a list obtained by The Associated Press: Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Chip Roy of Texas, Bob Good of Virginia, Louie Gohmert of Texas and Mary Miller of Illinois
Three more had already received a warning and will be fined $500. They are Reps. Brian Mast of Florida, Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa and Beth Van Duyne of Texas. They will be subject to a fine of $2,500 for additional offenses.
Separately, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., introduced a resolution Wednesday that stated the mask mandate “hinders the ability of the House to properly and effectively conduct the people’s business.”
The resolution stated that those who have not received the vaccine “pose no real threat to those who have been vaccinated.” And it called on the attending physician of the House to consult with the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and provide updated mask guidelines

This is pure insanity.
House of Reps no different than local Home Depot.

They should keep wearing the masks to mitigate the stench coming from the Democratic leadership mouths.
This is where the Republican Party and the Senators and House members lose, every single effin’ time. If this were the other way around EVERY Democrat would be walking around, without a mask, screaming in front of every microphone and camera.....TRUST THE SCIENCE!!!!!!!
What donRepublicans do? Walk around the Capitol like the clowns they are. No unity. No standing together. Nothing.
Home Depot has sane management.
Nancy Pelosi will go down in history as the most destructive Speaker in history.
Somebody here had a meme showing a movie scene of a guy saying “I am the last man on Earth-—but Fauci said I still have to wear a mask.”
my state begrudgingly lifted the mask mandate but almost no retail is going to “follow the science”
Some of the large national retailers have removed the door mask checkers but none have removed the mask signage.
it is pathetic, the sports arenas have separate vax sections and you get a nice yellow wristband that gets you discounts on healthy hotdogs soft drinks and beer.
And this is just the mask. The garbage with the fake vaccine is a sh*tstorm.
Nancy Pelosi is serious rot in Congress period!

You males thought just because you were used to having those things between your legs that you’d always have them. Guess again.

First I forget my glasses, then my car keys, then it’s my purse. Now I’m late for my Botox appointment. Dr.Armando is gonna kill me.
There is no Republican Unity because half the Republicans are not Republicans
All Democrats are liberal leftists. Few Republicans are conservatives
Exactly.
What the headline should say if it were accurate, is that some Republicans refused to wear the fascist armband
Which state? In NEPA it was lifted late Friday but stores were lagging getting the signs changed. Today Monday I am starting to see more people unmasked today, but still less than 10%. But this is a huge improvement over Saturday night when I was the only person without a mask in the entire Walmart store.
At Wawa they changed the sign - but while I am waiting for my sandwich to be made about 30 people come and go in store. I am the ONLY person without a mask. I don’t think some of these people really want to wear the mask. They are just freaking out - “do I wear it?” “will they think I’m not vaccinated?” “but I’m still afraid” “Will they think I am not woke?” “what do I do now????”
The Republicans are beaten. They’re whipped. Everyone knows that the Republican leadership won’t support their own members. Look what they did to a fighter like Marjorie Taylor Greene. They removed her from all committee assignments because she was too opinionated. Meanwhile, Eric Swalwell and Ilhan Omar are still assigned to important committees.
Weakness invites aggression and right now, the Republicans in both chambers of congress are weak.
That magazine cover exhibits why music sucks today.
