(WASHINGTON) Republicans and Democrats on Wednesday battled over the new House of Representatives’ new mask mandate, with more than a dozen Republicans voting twice without masks, despite new guidance from the Capitol physician aimed at preventing fast-spreading COVID-19 infections.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy “such a moron” Wednesday morning when asked about his criticism of the new mask mandate in the House.
“That’s the decision from the Capitol physician, a mandate from him,” Pelosi told reporters. “I have nothing to say about that, except we honor it.”
Asked about McCarthy saying the decision was not “based on science,” she replied, “He’s such a moron,” as she got into her car.

The guidance Tuesday also reiterated that Failure to wear a mask in the Hall of the House is subject to fines imposed for violation as contained in the previous House rule.
