Garrett Haake @GarrettHaake 6mIm so sorry for him, @ tells me of reports @replouiegohmert tested positive for COVID. But Im also sorry my members, who are concerned, because he has been showing up at meetings without a mask and making a thing of it.

Hopefully now he will look after his health, and others, the speaker continues.

"I would remind Mr. Jordan, Mr. Biggs and Mr. Johnson to stop violating the rules of the committee, to stop violating the safety of the members of the committee, to stop holding themselves out as not caring by refusing to wear their masks," Nadler said, referring to Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Mike Johnson (R-La.).
A member was heard asking Nadler in response if it is "permissible to drink a sip of coffee."
Nadler responded it is "not permissible."

(141 posts)On the one hand, riversedge, yes - I don't wish ill on anyone due to some sort of moral compass I suppose.
On the other hand, let's let Ohio Senator Rob Portman be a lesson in GOP empathy.
This senator was vehemently opposed to All Things Gay until his son came out. Subsequently, why yes; gay marriage is A-okay.
The point: these fuckers have zero empathy until it smacks them hard, personally.
Ergo, they WILL NOT GET IT until they - a family member, whatever - dies, or maybe ends up on a respirator for a month resulting in dementia, a stroke, something else sinister.
May be what it takes to get through to these anti masker republicans to mask up and take it seriously. They should not be allowed in committee rooms or hearings without one.

of trumpig, vote for Joe Biden" That would be nice a repug promoting a Dem.

(758 posts)scene: Gohmert at the triage tent in Texas. There's not enough beds, so the docs have death panels to decide who gets treatment and who goes home to die. The very old: go home. The very stupid: go home, you're too dumb to save
