GOP Bashes Pelosi's Order to Arrest Anti-Maskers on Capitol Grounds

Many House Republicans announced plans to defy House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “unlawful and tyrannical” order to have staff and visitors who are not wearing masks on Capitol Grounds arrested.

In a bulletin, first posted to Twitter by Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) on Thursday, Pelosi (D-CA) ordered Capitol Police officers to enforce the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, which were updated on Tuesday and recommend even vaccinated people wear masks in indoor spaces.

“In today’s edition of Pelosi’s abuse of power, Capitol Police have been directed to arrest staff and visitors to comply with her mask mandate for vaccinated individuals,” Cammack’s tweet reads. “For Members, they advise not arresting but ‘reporting Members to SAA for their failure to comply.’”:

In today’s edition of Pelosi’s abuse of power, Capitol Police have been directed to arrest staff and visitors to comply with her mask mandate for vaccinated individuals.

For Members, they advise not arresting but “reporting Members to SAA for their failure to comply.”

“If a visitor or staff member fails to wear a mask after a request is made to do so, the visitor or staff shall be denied entry to the House Office Buildings or House-side of the U.S. Capitol,” the bulletin states. “Any person who fails to either comply or leave the premises after being asked to do so would be subject to an arrest for unlawful entry…” (emphasis added).

While officers were ordered not to arrest House members or staffers accompanying them, officers have been directed to report them to House Sergeant at Arms’ office. According to the bulletin, the Office of Attending Physician (OAP) advised Congress to follow the CDC’s updated guidance. Chief of Police J. Thomas Manger signed off on the order.

“This is so out of control. Pelosi is massively drunk on power, obsessed with control, and hypocritical and partisan beyond belief,” Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said in a tweet. “This isn’t just some mask mandate either. The enforcement measures are absurd. *There are now just 27 COVID-19 patients in ALL DC hospitals.”:

Pelosi’s arrest order comes after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) delivered an impassioned speech on the House floor on Wednesday, in which he specifically targeted Pelosi for her blatant “hypocrisy” after she “broke her own rules” following a new mask mandate for the U.S. House of Representatives.

“Today, the Speaker, who didn’t know even know her own science and said names to people, broke her own rules,” McCarthy said, referring to when Pelosi called him a moron. “Twice today I saw the Speaker in a crowded room without a mask, less than 24 hours after imposing the mask mandate…”

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) noted that “in Biden-Pelosi’s America the maskless are arrested while the looters, shoplifters, and border crossers go free.”

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) said Pelosi has “lost her damn mind,” and emphasized that the Capitol “is the People’s House, not her House.”

“Let me make it easy for you, Speaker Pelosi, my office, and my visitors won’t comply — have an issue with that? Come see me,” he concluded in a tweet:

Nancy Pelosi has lost her damn mind, arresting staff and visitors for not wearing masks?

This is the People’s House, not her House.

Let me make it easy for you, Speaker Pelosi, my office, and my visitors won’t comply — have an issue with that? Come see me. https://t.co/5EoqXN7G65

“This is INSANE. Might as well come into my office and arrest my entire staff. We are not wearing masks. I support the Capitol Hill Police, but the Chief of Police made a mistake here. The physician and the chief of police don’t have this authority,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) tweeted:

Cammack issued a second tweet, announcing that she will refuse to comply with a mandate that is “based on an unpublished, failed peer review study conducted in India.”

Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI) sounded the alarm on Congress’ use of the unpublished, India-based study on Wednesday, the day after CDC released its updated guidance. McCarthy also slammed Pelosi for using research that has not even been approved in the United States to make House members wear masks again.

“I just left speaking with Dr. Monahan from the House. He said he used the CDC recommendation on a report that hasn’t been printed yet,” McCarthy said. “He did not know that the report is based upon India, about a vaccine that’s not approved in America, and now he did not know that it didn’t even pass peer-review.”

“That’s why vaccinated people in this house now have to wear a mask. There is no science, but I guess the Speaker must have not known that. Why wouldn’t the Speaker know the facts? Do you know what frustrates Americans the most? Hypocrisy,” he continued.

Here are the facts, @SpeakerPelosi:

✅85% of House Members are vaccinated
✅70% of the Congressional workforce is vaccinated
✅Transmission rate on the Hill is .5%
✅Senate has no mask mandate

Pelosi's political theater is only aimed at distracting from her radical agenda. https://t.co/jAw9giM0YL

Rep. Claudi Tenney (R-NY) said Pelosi’s “political theater is only aimed at distracting from her radical agenda.”

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) said Pelosi’s order is “about power and control.”:

To be clear: Pelosi is directing police to ARREST vaccinated people who aren’t wearing masks.

This isn’t about science—it’s about power and control. https://t.co/XMXxI0Dw2D

“This is insanity. Threatening arrest for not wearing a mask is unlawful and tyrannical!” Rep. Andy Biggs joined in:

According to the bulletin, the order will remain in effect until December 31, 2021.

Rep. Cammack to Newsmax: Capitol Mask Arrest Order 'Tyrannical'




An order for Capitol Police officers to arrest congressional staff and visitors who are not wearing masks in the complex and to report members of Congress who are walking about unmasked is "what a tyrannical entity does," Rep. Kat Cammack told Newsmax Thursday.
"This agency, the Capitol Police, who does a phenomenal job in protecting members and staff and visitors, and I have the utmost respect for, they are being used to execute (Speaker) Nancy Pelosi's political agenda," the Florida Republican told Newsmax's "John Bachman Now."
"This is trash."

Cammack earlier Thursday revealed on Twitter that she'd gotten a copy of a memo issued to officers ordering them to take action against people who are in violation of Pelosi's mask order.
"I happened to run into a capitol police officer who knows me and trusts me and said, 'hey, you've got to see this," Cammack told show host John Bachman. "This was shared at our morning roll call...this is not just for entering the building."
She called the order "incredible" as well as "unprecedented."

Cammack also questioned House attending physician, Dr. Brian Monahan, the authority behind the renewed mask order.
The "mandate," Cammack said, was based on an unpublished report concerning a population of people in India that had received a vaccine not available in the United States.

"It came out in the news that that study failed peer review because the data was so shoddy," said Cammack.
She added that she's seen Pelosi and other Democrats walking around without wearing masks, even after the new fine warning.

Further, immigrants are coming across the border unmasked, argued Cammack, leaving Border Patrol agents to fight for their lives.
"This isn't a question about science," she said. "We know what the science is, and no one is saying that they're anti-vax. But what we are saying is that there is absolutely no room for the federal government to mandate someone to get a vaccine, and as with regard to these masks, we know that the science and the data on the masks is faulty. "
