Republicans defy mask rules on House floor
By Cristina Marcos and Scott Wong - 05/18/21 05:55 PM EDT

Several GOP lawmakers on Tuesday defied a requirement for everyone to wear masks on the House floor, protesting how the rules haven't changed in light of new health guidance stating that those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can forgo face coverings in most settings.

The House Republicans who protested the mask rules on Tuesday — despite the threat of a $500 fine — are among those who haven't revealed their vaccination status publicly or have openly said they won't get vaccinated.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) posted a photo of herself with three other Republicans on the House floor without masks, writing in a tweet that "Masks are oppressive and nothing but a political tool. End the oppression!" and adding "#FreeYourFace."

House rules are now set by the Speaker alone?

Which is why the Establishment Republicans hate her so much.
