Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) “stood up during a GOP conference meeting Tuesday morning and told his colleagues that he’s ‘done’ wearing masks and will refuse to wear them on the House floor going forward, even if it means being fined,” Politico reports.
“Mast, who has been vaccinated, added that ‘many’ other Republicans have said they will follow suit.”
“Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy informed the conference he plans to introduce a privileged motion on the topic Wednesday… Tensions are near a boiling point between the two parties over pandemic-era protocols… But Pelosi and Democrats have said that they could resume normal life more quickly if more of their Republican colleagues got vaccinated.”
