So while the Republicans took protective measures, Speaker Mike Turzai (R) did not inform his Democratic colleagues of the situation. And a number of Democrats may have taken corona home to their families.

House of Reps, found out that someone in republican leadership or a member of the party, who is also a member of the Penn House of Reps. was walking around positive for the COVID VIRUS infecting others just by his/her presence ..The republicans kept it a secret to themselves, and told no one else that there was danger just holding meetings and infecting others.

.Brian Sims points out that his family is now at risk, because no precautions were taken. The republicans knew but told no one else to take precautions. His anger is incredible, because not only is he possibly infected, but he may have infected his family as well. This story is incredible and almost unbelievable...His anger is real and his fear for his family is real. This story will get national coverage, and sadly more will die because of what republicans did.

They've been purposely going around infecting the Democrats and covering it up. I agree with him, they belong in prison. Everyone of those ratfuckers need to go.

Where he went on a total legitimate rant against the republican evil, which will help our cause, had I been in his situation, having just donated a kidney and being secretly exposed to the virus along with my family, I would break someone’s nose.

What can I say? I’m a liberal redneck from Louisiana.

Broke my hand in several places when I was 14 fighting about what someone said. My dad explained to me that a Strong man never gets drawn into a fight over words. And it stuck. At 53 I now understand what he was saying.

But you put me and my family at risk the situation changes. I have not kick anyone’s ass since I was 21 and he threatened me and had it coming. Thought that because he was larger than me he could push me around.

But to me this is beyond the pale. They truly are deplorable.
