Pelosi doubles down on masks

Decrees that Representatives must continue to wear them on the House floor.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) pointed toward a lingering number of unvaccinated House members as part of the decision to keep mask rules in place on the House floor. Pelosi said last month that roughly a quarter of legislators have yet to receive a coronavirus vaccine and noted: “We cannot require someone to be vaccinated.”

“It’s about control,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday evening. “She wants to control the House.”

In fact, Pelosi and the Goon Squad want to control the people, not just the scrum in the Capitol. And until Pelosi, or someone, can explain why vaccinated people should wear masks when the CDC has (finally) admitted that vaccinated people “neither get nor carry” Chinese Flu bugs*, I’m going with Scallisi’s take: it’s all about control.

And if she can do it to elected representatives, wait til she turns her attention to the rest of the country.

*And this bit, too:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidance is unmistakable: “Anyone who is fully vaccinated can participate in indoor and outdoor activities — large or small — without wearing a mask or physically distancing,” CDC chief Rochelle Walensky declared Thursday. She said the agency would soon revisit its recommendations for schools and other settings.
