Congressman Scalise: Pelosi Turned Down Offer To Implement COVID-19 Testing On Capitol Hill

Posted by Daily Wire News | Oct 3, 2020 | Daily Wire | 0 |


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has reportedly refused to implement COVID-19 testing for lawmakers in the nation’s capital, according to a top lawmaker.

Jedediah Bila started off the segment on “Fox & Friends Weekend” by showing Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL), Ranking Member on the House Administration Committee, calling on Pelosi to implement COVID-19 testing for lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Bila then asked Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) to respond to what Davis said in the video clip.

“Congressman Davis is exactly correct,” Scalise said. “I mean these protocols have been out there and the testing capabilities have been out there for a long time. They were offered to the speaker and she turned it down.”

A couple of weeks ago they were still reporting continuing shortages on some testing supplies and testing reagents.  Why should Congress get all the testing support they need when the average person can't?
