House lawmakers may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 while they sheltered at an undisclosed location during the Capitol siege. The Capitol’s attending physician urged all lawmakers to be tested. The infected individual was not named.

Workers install a flag on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol as preparations take place for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, Saturday, Jan. 9, 2021, in Washington.

WASHINGTON — House lawmakers may have been exposed to someone testing positive for COVID-19 while they sheltered at an undisclosed location during the Capitol siege by a violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump. Dr. Brian Moynihan wrote that “many members of the House community were in protective isolation in the large room — some for several hours” on Wednesday. He said “individuals may have been exposed to another occupant with coronavirus infection.”Dozens of lawmakers were whisked to the secure location after pro-Trump insurrectionists stormed the Capitol that day, breaking through barricades to roam the halls and offices and ransacking the building.

Newly elected Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a presidential ally aligned with a pro-Trump conspiracy group, was among those Republicans not wearing masks.

I'm sure this had nothing to do with it.

This him. He also voted against certification. Heckuva first week.

DBChirpy Another charge to add to the Radicalized Trump cult and any Republican that aided and abetted sedition and insurrection.

TakeThatGods He is faking it He is a Republican from Kansas same as Mike Pompeo who lies all the time. He is trying to cancel the Monday impeachment meeting. It take only 5 min. To download zoom.

Oh for goodness sake. Blame Trump for that too while youre at it. So afraid that he runs again in 2024 and hes got the goods on all the swamp creatures. Keep trying impeachment still wont work.

He already said who he is. He didn’t isolate after being tested.

Good.. I hope they allllll get it

With sincere gratitude in my heart I’m doing this open testimony so others will know what Mr Chris did for me and they should also join the winning team. chris_grey2

A suicide too? Horrible.

Why not? Name the fucker!! Anyway, none of my biz.. Juss lookin for trouble..

Everyone could have been exposed. The rioters were not wearing masks as they stormed the Capitol and there is no way the building could have been decontaminated before they resumed the count.

Fact Checkers say that this is Fake News. The all agree that it isn’t Covid but rather an intense case of Cooties from being stuck so long in close quarters with Nancy Pelosi & Diane Feinstein.

We remember the republicans that refused masks. Cameras are everywhere

A siege? Something that is seized Islay isn't abandoned in hours. Lol

Republican lawmakers refused to wear masks during the CapitolSiege. Where is Representative LaTurner, who received his positive Covid test result during the TrumpCoupAttempt on January 6? Contact with elder statesmen and women ChuckGrassley ? vp ? SpeakerPelosi ?

This is unacceptable and criminal!

Possible? Well let's run with the least important, might be true story going on! I sick this possible shit! Say facts or stfu!

Jake LaTurner from Kansas.

VIRUS There are relatively quick means: Colloidal silver; '5 Thieves essential Young oils' inhaled; pH control of saliva urine; spices and herbs a virus cannot handle; sauna visits (virus cannot survive regular sauna temperatures! Hydration. Why wait until virus spread thru body?

So it's also bio-terrorism? We have a death penalty and we ought to be using it to finish this ongoing rebellion and to suppress all possibility of it's resurgence in the future.

carterforva Oh man... So hoping a bunch of the psycho Tea Bag RepubliCONS, get really sick.

What a bloody shit show in congress and in the capitol

Did you know that the coming of The MESSIAH has drawn near

Comment: 01102021 USCapitolSiege COVID19USCapitol My advice is to innoculated asap all affected Congress members and personnel with COVID19 vaccine.

SteveScalise The damage to lives may continue going up from the GOP led Insurrection

Not surprising, unfortunately. Everyone was forced into close proximity with a bunch of anti-mask Republicans for an extended period of time.

Rep Jake LaTurner from Ks.

I thought they have all been vaccinated.

NYT: Representative Jake LaTurner, Republican of Kansas, announced that he received a positive test result for the coronavirus on Wednesday night, after he spent the day participating in a failed effort to stop Congress from formally certifying President-elect Biden’s victory.

Remember Nancy also had Covid positive people go in and expose everyone to get her votes.

As Majorie stood there and denied a mask being passed around. Complicity

This is on Trump's head...

It was Boebert.

There is a video going around of a dem handing out masks to Republican members and they are blatantly refusing them and laughing at her while she passes them out. If anyone dies from it they should sue TF out of the ones that refused. 💯💯😡🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Capitol cop committed suicide last night over the attack on the Capitol.

Check if any substance like anthrax etc, The crowd have their agenda, who storm Congress.

It’ll be ok

Who’s surprised? 🦗 COVIDIOTS COVID19

Lol ok.

One of the idiots refusing to mask , I’m sure

It's Jake LaTurner of Kansas. He announced here that he found out he was positive after he returned to the floor to vote against affirming Arizona's electoral votes.

Now they can’t vote for impeachment! Weird strategy

Sure sounds like bio-terrorism.

Put it on Trump's account, please

FakeNews

If it was an elected official that refused to accept a mask when they were being sheltered, they should be named to enforce some level of accountability.
