Republicans Know What's at the Heart of Nancy's Edict for Masks on the House Floor
Townhall.com ^ | 16 May A.D. 2021 | Matt Vespa

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have finally, at long last, changed their mask guidelines. It’s a bit frustrating because it’s something that everyone knew prior, but better late than never, right? Meh, not really. It’s still infuriating especially since the people we're talking about right now are most of those who have been vaccinated for months. Members of Congress still weak masks inside in a transparent display of political theater. Sorry, Dr. Fauci, Rand Paul was right; it’s theater. You were wrong…again. We need to be finished with this clown and Nancy Pelosi too, though ripping the speaker’s gavel from her would take a GOP takeover of the House in 2022. Let’s pray that happens. For now, even with the CDC tweaks to mask-wearing for the vaccinated, Pelosi is keeping the mandate in effect on the House floor. Why? Well, she’s a control freak, like all Democrats (via WaPo):

Under new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vaccinated Americans can now mostly ditch their masks indoors. But not lawmakers on the House floor.

Asked by CNN whether the House’s mask mandate would be relaxed, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said, “No. Are they all vaccinated?”

Her decision, which was outlined in updated guidelines issued Thursday night by Congress’s attending physician, drew swift backlash from Republicans who have long bristled at mask requirements. In a letter dated Friday, 34 GOP lawmakers urged Pelosi to drop the House’s pandemic restrictions.

“It’s about control,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday evening. “She wants to control the House.”

The Republican pushback highlights the lingering partisan furor over mask mandates even as vaccinations and public health restrictions have helped drop coronavirus deaths and new infections to the lowest numbers since the onset of the pandemic.

Pelosi said that 75 percent of the House is vaccinated. Yeah, I can see why Scalise would say that it’s about control. There’s no need for the mask mandate for the House floor, Nancy. To keep it in place is not only theater, it’s science fiction theater. Pelosi is now anti-science. That’s the new rule.

It just shows you the level of addiction that has set in among those who lusted for and reveled in the lockdown regime that caused nothing but pain for American working families over a virus whose survival rate is over 90 percent. They’re hooked on power. They’re hooked on the dependency that concentrated power wields in our system. So, this is just another insight into the ‘government controls all because we know better’ ethos of the Democratic Party.

Republicans Show some balls! Get all Republicans together and refuse to wear them. If queen Nancy says you cant be on committees unless you are masked, then don’t show up and F’em. The American people will clearly see who stands for freedom and liberty and who is for enslavement.

She proves that she’s a frustrated dictator who won’t willingly let go of power.

Pelosi certainly assumes that the House is HER domain and ownership....nobody is going to dictate anything to her.

What's all the excitement over this?

All that sheeple need to do is:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

Our beloved communist rulers have only our best interest at heart...

Get used to it... This is only the beginning...
Wear your chains with a smile... (As 80% of the sheeple already do...)

Republicans should grow a set and just not listen to Nancy. They’re all a bunch of pussies unwilling to fight for freedom and liberty.

She’s 80 now and just needs to call it a day..and shud ave years ago when she showed her brain wasn’t engaging right.

Somehow we have to get term limits in place....these lifetime Representatives believe Congress is owned by them rather any representation of the people.

It tells you what you already know.... there's something wrong with her.

Seriously.

What sane person in a position like that wastes a single nano-second on material or practical minutia like masks, etc? There's some REAL pathology going on there.

1 rep from 1 district in 1 state rules over 434 reps from 434 districts in 50 states. Unbelievable, but true. Not the way it’s supposed to be.

It’s only true because they (Republicans) allow it to be true. They are a bunch of girlie men. Just ignore the bitch - on everything. Be defiant. Abuse the crap out of her and don’t stop until she quits.

Wouldn’t it be something to see the repub reps all come in without masks, then start laughing at Pelosi?

Nancy Pelosi has the maturity of a 15 year old girl.

So true. They need to treat her like the democrats treat Republicans and ignore her. What is wrong with these spineless twits. Stand up for your right to choose without it affecting your job.

There's nothing good about her that's admirable as I see her. She's a player and a deceptive one at that. Cunning and vicious.
