Last night, Progressive Caucus leader Pramila Jayapal announced that she is the second House Democrat to get COVID after being trapped in a room during the insurrection with Republicans who REFUSED to wear a mask.

And she is furious.

Pramila Jayapal demanded action, saying: "Any Member who refuses to wear a mask should be fully held accountable for endangering our lives because of their selfish idiocy. I'm calling for every single Member who refuses to wear a mask in the Capitol to be fined and removed from the floor by the Sergeant at Arms." Sign the petition saying you agree. And pass this to others.

Jayapal told the back story: "Only hours after Trump incited a deadly assault on our Capitol, many Republicans still refused to take the bare minimum COVID-19 precaution and simply wear a damn mask in a crowded room during a pandemic—creating a superspreader event ON TOP of a domestic terrorist attack."

Congresswoman Bonnie Watson-Coleman reported similar: "Following the events of Wednesday, including sheltering with several colleagues who refused to wear masks, I decided to take a Covid test. I have tested positive."

Right-wing members of Congress question the election results, question COVID science, cause riots, hurt colleagues, and these actions kill Americans. Enough!

Sign the petition: "Any Member who refuses to wear a mask should be fully held accountable for endangering our lives because of their selfish idiocy. I'm calling for every single Member who refuses to wear a mask in the Capitol to be fined and removed from the floor by the Sergeant at Arms." And pass it on.

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
