Rep. Michelle Steel , who previously expressed skepticism about the need for a mask mandate in Orange County, tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday.
Steel, 65, learned that morning that she had been in contact with someone who tested positive. She sought a test in the afternoon “out of an abundance of caution,” and it came back positive, according to a statement released by her office. “At the advice of the Attending Physician, and to protect the health of my colleagues, I will be quarantining,” said Steel, who was sworn in on Sunday after winning the seat from Democratic incumbent Harley Rouda.
Steel said she has no symptoms, and further details about her exposure were not clear. Danielle Stewart, Steel’s deputy chief of staff and communications director, said she could not provide additional information.“We’ve done the appropriate contact tracing. There’s a lot going on at the Capitol at the moment,” Stewart said, referring to the Wednesday’s lockdown
and interrupting Congress’ certification of the electoral college vote count. “We’re just trying to make sure everyone stays safe.”
Reading all these comments.. i have no idea how she was elected ?
What goes around comes around!
I don’t get how catching it has anything to do with being against a mask mandate. Which government does not have the right to legislate. My body my choice.
99% recovery rate. scamdemic
Horrible person...a little worse, by like a corona, than RepYoungKim
Good
Of course she did
gr8tvaluebiggie
The appropriate situation for her is no access to hospital (sorry they are reserved for others who tried NOT to get sick), that she stay at home and let God decide her fate.
FakeNews !! She got it from picking up your newspaper to line her pet bird cage with 🤷♀️
Orange County. The arm pit of SoCal.
BFD
No need to question anymore. She got her answer.
it is very unpleasant . I am recovering good luck. Oh does make you smarter about wearing mask too
I wish her a speedy recovery. Her chance of survival is 99%.
all political leaders who denounce mask-wearing and who contract the covid-19 virus should have the same level of experience as those on respirators so that they will learn to take it seriously.
'In the spring, Steel repeatedly questioned the Orange County health officer’s decision to mandate face coverings.... The health officer later resigned after facing a death threat....' Karma.
Well maybe she can suffer a lot and deal with the pain
Ha ha! The Liar Times loves to gloat when people get covid...
Well deserve! No sympathy here, sorry
More proof they don’t really work.
All those police officers that did nothing to control those terrorists should all be fired! They are klansmen, alt rights, neo nazi, etc,etc! Fire them all! This was a total disrespect for African Americans! They were ready for us when we protested Black Live matter!
Thoughts, prayers, yada yada.
Hahahaha! God karma is such a bitch!
Oh. Good.
Good 4 her!
requires payment before sharing public health safety information online
I guess she got her question answered
I mean... It's not even ironic any more. It's just sad they continue to peddle ignorance.
I dont give any fucks
I hope she gets well quickly
Karma strikes again, she doesn't discriminate
I am becoming mean. I don't care if she is positive and I don't care if she gets hospitalized. I am sorry about the people who had to be in contact with her.
Womp womp
PaulTelfer Awww... Am I supposed to cry?
Gotta be tough when you’re stupid!🤷🏼♀️
Good
May she drag a tank of oxygen around for the rest of her life
