Republicans in Congress keep pushing for unsafe working conditions

Republican members of the House are making dramatic statements denouncing basic physician-advised virus safety measures.

Rep. Debbie Lesko complained in an interview on Tuesday that a new temporary rule allowing some House members to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic was "crazy" because they might not actually do their jobs.

"They can sit home and don't even have to come in. They're supposedly supposed to be watching, but who knows what people are gonna be doing. Maybe they're gonna be doing their laundry or whatever," she told the far-right-wing outlet One America News. "And not doing the people's business. I'm for getting back to work, just like everyone else in the nation. That's why I voted no on this crazy proxy bill."

This was the latest in a long series of loud objections by Republicans to a rule change passed last week by the House of Representatives to allow members to hold committee hearings remotely and provide them with the option of designating a colleague to cast their votes for them on the floor during the pandemic. The changes will let members opt to work from home and model social distancing to help curb the spread of COVID-19.
