During debate over a budget resolution, Brown briefly interrupted proceedings.

“… I would like to ask Senator Paul, in front of everybody, to start wearing a mask on the Senate floor like the entire staff does all the time,” said Brown, a Democrat from Cleveland. “I wish Senator Paul would show the respect to his colleagues to wear a mask when he’s on the Senate floor walking around and speaking.”

Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican from Bowling Green, didn’t respond to Brown’s request and returned to his seat.
