Ohio lawmaker says she refused to wear mask, was asked to leave Gettysburg Visitor Center

A Republican Ohio state official is claiming in a video shared to Facebook Thursday that she was asked to leave the Gettysburg Visitor Center and Museum for refusing to wear a mask.

In a Facebook video, first reported by The Hill, Rep. Candice Keller, after reading Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address in front of the Soldiers National Monument, said she and her husband were asked to leave the Gettysburg Welcome Center on Thursday because they would not wear face masks.

"This is not a law in Pennsylvania or in Ohio, where I come from, and it is an unconstitutional idea that our leaders have come up with," she said.

She said they chose not to argue, were refunded the cost of their tickets and left.

“We are losing our rights in this country and until you stand up to those who would diminish your freedom and liberty, it’s going to continue to happen,” she said, vowing that she would not wear a face mask when she is not sick.

Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine this week issued an order that everyone wear masks in any situations, inside or out, where they are unable to maintain a six-foot social distance.

Keller made headlines in May when she refused to have her temperature taken at the Ohio Statehouse, calling it an invasion of privacy.

According to the Columbus Dispatch, she recently lost an Ohio Senate bid to Republican Rep. George Lang. Her House term expires at the end of 2020.

Can I go, wear the mask through most of the tour and right before I leave take off my mask and taunt the ranger with my refusal in order to get a full refund?

So she didn’t use the “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!” line then?

Your words are meaningless ... you took the refund and left.

Doug Mastriano is planning a run for Governor in 2022!

Wolf has hit term limits (thank G-d!)

But a lame duck cornered wolf is still very dangerous.

Refusal to leave in considered “Defiant Trespass” in Pennsylvania.

If you don’t want to follow park guidelines then don’t go to the park. Simple as that.

She lost her primary so saying, "Do you know who I am? I'm a future former member of the Ohio legislature" probably wouldn't have gotten her far.

There’s a critical point where she is wrong.

Leaders is a term that we should never use. I prefer the term Ted Nugent coined: Elected Employees.

Except when it comes to mentally diseases tranny’s like Levine who are appointed by elected employees.

We travelled through Ohio yesterday. Masks are optional there.

Actually as an American, masks are optional everywhere. I won’t put one on unless challenged by a store employee
