GOP lawmakers are doing everything they can to avoid paying fines for running afoul of rules imposed by Democrats that require masks and security screenings before entering the House chamber.
Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., sounds off on video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi not wearing a mask after he was fined for not wearing one on the House floor.
A maskless House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., mingled indoors at a White House event Thursday while still enforcing coronavirus mask mandates on the House floor that amount to $500 fines.
Republicans balking at Pelosi s continued House mask requirements – despite new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) – called out the Democratic leader for a double standard. This is the definition of hypocrisy, Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., told Fox and Friends on Friday. Green, a veteran, West Point graduate and physician, is among the several GOP lawmakers fined $500 this week for not wearing a mask on the House floor. Subsequent violations could reach $2,500.
