WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Wednesday that all members of the House of Representatives would be required to wear masks on the floor, just hours after a Republican who opposed such mandates tested positive for COVID-19.
The announcement came just hours after it was revealed Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, tested positive for COVID-19, becoming one of about a dozen lawmakers who have the illness, recovered from it or who have antibodies to it. "I can't help but think if I hadn't been wearing a mask so much in the last 10 days or so, I really wonder if I wouldn't have gotten it," Gohmert said, speculating that he was bound to have"put some virus on the mask" from it"moving around so much."
