Congressman Suing Pelosi Over Mask Fines Gets COVID

Source: daily beast




GET WELL SOON

Published Aug. 05, 2021 10:20PM ET


Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) may have to put his lawsuit against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) over mask mandates on hold. He announced Thursday that he had contracted a breakthrough COVID-19 infection. The South Carolina Republican is suing Pelosi for a $500 fine imposed on him for not wearing a mask on the House floor. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), who were also fined, joined him in the suit. Their lawyers wrote, “The masking requirement was an attempt to prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, medicine, and science, despite a deep divide over these issues of opinion.” Norman says he was vaccinated in February. He is the second South Carolina congressman to be infected with the virus.

a gut wrenching cough, bone crushing chills, a raging 103 degree night sweat fever, a migraine headache from hell, and rampant diarrhea...yes I know you are fully vaxxed but you, sir, don't deserve mild flu-like symptoms for this very simple reason: you are a Trump-humping moronic twit, who will again insist Speaker Pelosi is the she-devil denying you the right to infect others...

He can drop the lawsuit now. Maybe even thank Speaker Pelosi while he's at it.

Justice matters.
