President-elect Joe Biden on Friday excoriated Republicans who refused to wear masks while huddled with other lawmakers during the Capitol riots, saying they needed "to grow up."
"Quite frankly, it was shocking to see members of the Congress while the Capitol was under siege by a deadly mob of thugs refuse to wear masks while they were in secure locations," he said.
At least three Democratic House members who were in locations with a select number of maskless Republicans have now tested positive for COVID-19, including Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey, Pramila Jayapal of Washington, and Brad Schneider of Illinois.
President-elect Joe Biden on Friday excoriated Republicans who refused to wear masks while huddled with other lawmakers during the Capitol riots, saying they needed "to grow up."


While speaking about his COVID-19 vaccine plan, Biden ripped into the politicization of mask-wearing that has become a flashpoint across the country and on Capitol Hill.

"Wearing a mask from now until April will save as many as 50,000 lives," Biden said. "Quite frankly, it was shocking to see members of the Congress while the Capitol was under siege by a deadly mob of thugs refuse to wear masks while they were in secure locations."

Biden praised Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, who represents his home state of Delaware, for passing out masks to members of Congress who were sequestered in a safe area. A now-viral video showed several GOP members laughing and dismissing Blunt Rochester's efforts.

"I'm so proud of my congresswoman, Lisa Blunt Rochester, trying to hand out masks while people were lying on the floor, huddled up," he said. "And Republican colleagues refusing to put them on. What the hell's the matter with them? It's time to grow up." LINK

Masks are pointless, except to sell more mouthwash.

The fact that she was handing out masks during this 'insurrection' tells you how shitty that 'insurrection' was.

She might as well have been handing out homemade tuna sandwiches. More useful than masks.

So, did any of the Republicans test positive? If not, then the mask wearing democrats caught it from someone else. Can't blame maskless Republicans.

Surely there are a bunch of Republicans turning up positive now. Otherwise, they got it from a dem who wore a mask or outside the “insurrection”

He is blaming mask less Republicans for those covid test, yet they had a positive covid case allowed in the house floor to vote for Pelosi.

Gwen Moore had a positive test and less than a week later she was in the house voting for Pelosi.

I mean grow up people.
