Republican Who Refused To Wear Mask On House Floor Gets COVID
Rep. Ralph Norman tested positive despite being fully vaccinated, he said.
Norman, and other Republicans, were fined $500 in May by Nancy Pelosi for not wearing face-covering on the House Floor. With his positive test, he becomes another "breakthrough" case of someone fully vaccinated yet still managing to get the virus. Earlier this week, Senator Lindsey Graham also tested positive, and also fully vaccinated.
Norman went on to "sue" Pelosi over his fine. The House Ethics Committee denied his request.
