A Democratic Pennsylvania state representative went on a profanity-laced tirade after a GOP colleague hid a positive COVID-19 test
Sims went on to call for a “full-blown investigation” by the attorney general and the state secretary of health to determine if it is safe for members to be in the capitol, which he demanded should be scrubbed “from top to bottom.” In addition, he called for everyone who works in the building to get tested and for that testing to be paid for by the Republican caucus. He also called on House Speaker Mike Terzai to resign.
Sims also expressed anger at Republican Rep. Russ Diamond because he self-quarantined but was not tested for COVID-19 after possible exposure. “Russ Diamond walked around the House floor every day without a mask on,” Sims said. “Just a little bit ago I was on the House floor, and at one point only four Republican members had their masks on. Holy shit!”, writing, “Lefties whine because I self-quarantined but didn’t get tested after possible COVID ‘contact.’ Confirmed by my doc: No reason for testing, even if I could get tested without symptoms. I feel like a million bucks! Well, $500K after lefties tax me.
“It’s pretty much a ghost town at the capitol now,” Lewis said. “I actually only interacted with a handful of folks. … Anyone that I interacted with was notified, and I called human resources.”that “employers should inform fellow employees of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace, but maintain confidentiality as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act .
“While we are pleased to learn that this House member seems to have recovered, it is simply unacceptable that some House Republicans knew about this for more than a week and sat on that knowledge,” Dermody said. “This attitude shows a fundamental lack of respect for fellow lawmakers.”
