Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., got into a heated exchange on Friday with an aide to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene after the aide told the lawmaker to take off his mask as he was leaving the House floor.Swalwell tweeted"No one should be bullied for wearing a mask. So I told the bully what I thought of his order," Swalwell tweeted
Congress is an institution deeply governed by hierarchies and tradition. Lawmakers shouting at each other is unusual and staff shouting at a member of Congress is even more outside the norm of decorum in the building. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sent a letter to members on Friday reminding them that the mask rules remained in place until"all Members and Floor staff are fully vaccinated."The reporter who posted on Twitter about the Friday incident, Scott Wong, wrote that Greene's spokesman Nick Dyer told Swalwell, “Biden says you can take off your mask.”
wrote on Twitter. The reporter said he wasn't close to enough to Swalwell to hear what he said himself.
Dems refuse listening to SCIENCE!!
That staffer must be fired. The senator is a dully elected official The staffer is a nobody.
Why don't you name the aide who was clearly in the WRONG! Do you not know how to report details? Or do you just spend all your time selectively editing the events. can't even call it news cause you did not report news, just a random event without merit or detail.
Rep AOC rightly said of Taylor Greene: “This is a woman that’s deeply unwell. And clearly needs help...I think that this is an assessment that needs to be made by the proper professional.” She is dangerous and truly unhinged.. MajorieTaylorGreenetheempressofhate
Trump correct again
what is it with Greene and her posse, they all are a menace. And if people still want to wear a mask, so be it, don't ridicule someone because of a mask.
mtgreenee & her staff are what normally are referred to as white trash.
There is no mask mandates where I work
Lol this is great
lol, she's funny, I love it!

Why is this woman and her staff permitted to harass other members of Congress? In any other workplace, she would have been fired long ago.

So basically a staffer made a comment that 'Biden says you can take off your mask' and Rep. Swalwell verbally attacked him... Your headline doesn't match your story... But keep pushing the division. How hard does a reporter or writer have to work to do political hack jobs? Peace.
This is terrible. I’m sorry that someone who is protecting others was harassed like this by an aide of Greene’s. Shows the mentality of Green’s circle -inept and unable to be empathetic
Is this really the GOP strategy now? Be mean, then pretend the other guy started it?
I believe the proper response is: 'take off your pants & I'll take off my mask'. Make these people earn it facts sundaypolitics
Should keep their mouths shut! Just because their boss is a pig doesn't give them the ok to do this.

The JUNIOR legislator (I use the term loosely) & her staff have so much to learn. They don't even know the basics like civility, manners, decorum much less any real work.
Is she still there? Why hasn't she been sacked? Clearly she's not fit.
And RepSwalwell responded by aggressively verbally menacing a staffer. Using his position of privilege to misogynistically verbally assault someone with impunity. He clearly has mental health issues. (This is how the script would have read if a GOP member had replied this way)
RepSwalwell heated screaming supremacist backlash indeed as he ‘explodes' at hill staffer over masks, saying 'you don't tell me what to f***ing do'❗️ Poster boy for bad behavior 🔥
Swalwell? The guy on China's payroll? But you won't dre cover that.
The Republicans are inciters, agitators, demagogues.. Greene and those like her do not qualify to be working for our Government. Better vetting is needed. Where did they find Greene in an insane asylum.
Freedom to wear masks!! (Because not stupid). How dare they try to take his freedom away!
Maskhole

👏👏👏👏👏 Rep Swalwell!!
50smag Good for him!
She's BSFC
Did that Chinese Spy cry?
Wtf is wrong with these people. ?! Mind your own dam business. That aide is ignorant
An aide that was definitely out of his/her place!
He was justified in speaking out against Greene’s henchman
This is a discussion that will disappear when everyone is a restaurant
Did his fingers smell like a chinese spy?
Life? Watch the water? No. Lies. Nothing. No water. No life. Lies. From the hive. The BUMBLE bees buzz, Right to the QUEEN ProjectLincoln Writhe.
Another bad headline, the aid started the exchange of words.
Them bullies 👇🏽👇🏽👏🏼
Regarding this as 'bullying' just shows what a pussy Swalwell is.
Good
Eric Swalwell is one of my favorite members of The House Judiciary Committee!
Do they not realize she is a sociopath?
As the world turns...so are the Days of Our Lives. Capital Drama Soup..
Greene has EMBOLDENED her staff to Disrespect Democrats The Republicans are no longer a party of Principles Americans Do Realize that Greene is MENTALLY ILL along with many of her Constituents Why Else keep up the “Big Lie “ Trump suffered from Mental Illness “CONSTANT LIES”
Bravo Congressman! And where does a staffer get the right to tell a sitting Congressional person what to do?
you can blame most covid19 deaths on big pharma controlled media that hate canceling holiday travels or discussing out patient treatments during early stage of pandemic, dnc say out patient treatment does not prevent covid, but they ignore fact ivermectin reduces covid symptoms
Republicans don't respect the legislature anymore.

ExpelMarjorieTaylorGreene 💯
Now according to Democrats... ppl who do this need to be investigated...so i guess Swalwell will have to be investigated like Greene is
Mad because he’s masked? I thought conservatives were all about personal choice?😏
MTG’s staff are trash like her.
Only idiots and virtue signalers wear face muzzles at this point 🤣
MTG needs to call off her pit bulls. They have to know their role and back the f*€ off elected Representatives.
Ha
Just let people wear masks if they want to. It's none of your business
OK
