Criticism grows of GOP lawmakers, including Pa.s Perry, who refused masks while sheltering during Capitol riotWASHINGTON President-elect Joe Biden on Monday chastised GOP lawmakers, including one from Pennsylvania, for refusing to wear masks while they were held in a safe location as a violent mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol last week.
As lawmakers waited for law enforcement to secure the Capitol on Wednesday, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., went around a packed room passing out masks to people without them, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
When they were hiding from the mob, she was going around trying to hand out masks to everybody, Biden said to a group of reporters. And her Republican colleagues wouldnt wear a mask. I think its irresponsible.
In a video obtained by Punchbowl News, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.; Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla.; Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.; Scott Perry, R-10th District, and Michael Cloud, R-Texas, were all not wearing masks, and they turned down the disposable masks that Rochester was offering.

their behavior, I think they're so enamored with themselves that they think covering their faces deprives the world of being able to enjoy their beauty.
Anonymity is frightening to them.

Narcissius did love to stare at himself. I suppose repukes feel others should enjoy looking at them.
I do! In well-deserved mug shots!
