GOP lawmaker challenges McCarthy over 'bulls---' mask mandate enforcement

In this image from video, Rep. Chip Roy speaks on the House floor wearing a mask. | House Television via APRep. Chip Roy confronted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Thursday about a new Capitol Police bulletin that suggests congressional staffers and visitors could be arrested if they fail to heed the chamber's new mask mandate.

McCarthy replied to a frustrated Roy that his plan is to win back the majority in 2022 and become speaker, the sources said. Their back-and-forth illustrates the mounting fury on the right about efforts by Capitol security officials to enforce mask-wearing rules amid the surge of Covid's Delta variant.

"Any person who fails to either comply or leave the premises after being asked to do so would be subject to an arrest for Unlawful Entry,” the flier continues. Cammack tweeted the guidance and argued that it was an “abuse of power” by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Capitol Police to propose arresting staffers, even those who are vaccinated.

I'm glad someone got the name right CAPITAL SECURITY. LOL

They need to enforce the rules by escorting them out of the room, and let their staff sue them for endangering their lives.

Uhm, they don’t want to get the vaccine because the FDA (ie the doctors) hasn’t approved it yet. But they also don’t want to wear masks, while the CDC and House physicians (also the doctors) recommends them. I say they’re the real bs, making excuses after excuses.

The current administration had set a goal to get American vaccinate, they continue to issue and update warnings. The vaccine are available and free for the users protection. Now, if you're continue to be irresponsible and listening to crazy conspiracies at the virus. To bad.

sounds like Capital Police have had it with the House GOP insurrectionists. Good.

I feel bad for this guys family. He clearly cares about nobody but himself.

Masks do not prevent you from spreading or getting Covid, hell the vaccines don’t either

The vaccines only protect you from getting seriously ill or die, people that were vaccinated have died and been seriously injured after getting the injections, vaccinated people can spread the virus ( the CDC admitted this) so why get the vaccines

Representative Roy is apparently pandering to folks like this:

Masks don't do shit against the Delta Variant. You do know the Delta Variant is 1000x more infectious right? And the mask mandates do not at all define what an effective mask is.

The Republican Party:

Lol don’t you people find this funny, you get vaccinated you don’t have to wear a mask, now vaccinated have to wear masks, vaccine doesn’t last past 6 months now you need a booster$$$$, the vaccines don’t prevent you from getting Covid

Now he’s concerned about leading.
