Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has argued that the government has no authority over such edicts.

“If we cave on our freedoms in the halls of Congress, what hope do the people have across America?” she told Fox News Thursday night.

She was part of a large group of GOP lawmakers who protested Pelosi’s reinstated mask mandate this week by walking over to the Senate side of the Capitol, where there is no renewed requirement.

“I will not comply with Pelosi’s anti-science mask mandates,” she said. “She can kiss my mask.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., called the renewed mask mandates a “socialist takeover of America” led by Pelosi and President Biden.
