Many Republican members of the House of Representatives slammed the reinstatement of the mask mandate and the threat of arrest, asking how science applies when the Senate side is being exempt from the same rule.

“What’s interesting, we stand out here in front of the Capitol by the chambers of the House, but as you look across on the other steps is the Senate. I’m not quite sure where the CDC got, but somewhere in the middle of that dome, the science changes,” said McCarthy at a press conference in front of the Capitol.
