Some Democrat lawmakers have expressed displeasure at wearing masks on the House floor, a pivot from the days when Democrats were united against unmasked Republicans.
While Republicans have racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for not wearing a mask on the House floor, Democrats are beginning to question House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) mask rules, Politico Playbook reported.
Violation of her Capitol Building masking rules entails a $500 first-time fine and thereafter $2,500 per violation in perpetuity.
So far, two Democrat House members have spoken out against Pelosi’s ongoing masking mandate. Rep. Dan Kildee (D-MI) told Playbook the policy should be “made sooner rather than later,” noting Pelosi’s medical advisers will have the final say.
