House Republicans revolt over reimposed mask mandate

“I have not been vaccinated. I have had Covid-19. I’ve recovered,” Donalds told reporters.

When asked why he did not wear a mask on the House floor, Donalds said, “This rule is stupid. Let’s just be very blunt about this.”

“The Senate has no rules, so it’s funny how Covid operates differently here than in the Senate,” he added.

Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman of California got into a yelling match with Donalds outside the chamber over mask wearing.

Huffman, in a mask, said Donalds was selfish for not wearing one. Donalds responded, “Don’t be worried about me! Mind your business!”
