Remember first grade, when a teacher probably told you to make like a vampire whenever you sneezed or coughed? (For kids born after the year 2010, the point of reference is probably to do the dab when you sneeze or cough.)
Evidently, one Rhode Island Congressman never got the memo.
Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., was caught on CNN and C-SPAN s broadcast of Wednesday s impeachment proceedings removing his mask, sneezing into his hand and proceeding to slip the mask back on and look away from the camera. He did not sanitize his hands after.
He buried his son a week ago. Now Jamie Raskin is leading the impeachment charge.

He returned home sometime after 4 a.m. on Thursday, after Congress finished certifying the election results in the shadow of a mob invasion, and tried to get some rest. I haven t been sleeping a lot since we ve been without Tommy, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., admitted.
It had been a week since his 25-year-old son, Thomas Bloom Raskin, died by suicide, less than two days since they buried him, and just over 12 hours since Raskin took cover with his daughter and son-in-law at the U.S. Capitol as thousands of Trump supporters ransacked the building and fatally attacked police.
