Attending Physician of Congress Dr. Brian Monahan on Sunday warned that members of the House community may potentially have been exposed to COVID-19 after having to huddle together in a secure location during last week’s deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Monahan’s memo was issued two days after video surfaced of a group of Republican lawmakers refusing to wear masks while in a secure but crowded space with their colleagues amid the pro-Trump mob breaching the Capitol.
In a video published by Punchbowl News, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) is seen offering masks to Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Scott Perry (R-PA), Michael Cloud (R-TX), and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK). The Republican lawmakers are seen turning Rochester away:
These people really need to be “quarantined.” Forever.
I said this in another post but I’ll say it again.
Sitting there with shit eating grins on their faces like children who got caught but still proud of the fact that they have shit smeared on their faces.
Of course they were exposed.
Rep. Jake LaTurner, [R] KS, tested positive for covid-19 a few hours later.
Why did it take this long for the fucking physician to say something?
We all saw the videos…heard the stories of the smug repubs who declined to wear masks.
I wonder how many of them have been vaccinated. Even so, they should have masked. Their blatant disregard for others is hideous and typical, simultaneously.
