This is so enraging. There were hundreds of us isolated together as the Capitol was under attack. The Sergeant At Arms repeatedly asked the dozens of maskless Republican members to respect others’ health. @RepLBR offered them masks. They laughed and refused. Get well, @RepBonnie! https://t.co/nIgVsJ3IQy

Worried—Freshman GOP Kansas Congressman Jake LaTurner tests #COVID19 positive. Is 11th House member of 117th Congress—all of the same party.

But what worries me is MOCs were all holed up together yesterday during the siege. Many maskless. He was likely infectious.
Rep. Jake LaTurner, Republican of Kansas, tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday night, after he spent the day participating in a failed effort to stop Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. https://t.co/RTAFNNvEMN

If there’s a Covid outbreak in Congress, every one of those morons that refused a mask in the safe room should be expelled. https://t.co/wNn6R4lVOv

Biden said he was “appalled” when he saw GOP colleagues wouldn’t take masks from Delaware congresswoman @LisaBRochester when she tried to hand them out to members while they were hiding from a mob during the Capitol riots. pic.twitter.com/zB1gkVFbPh
