Hey John — I just walked off the House floor and was verbally assaulted by a member of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s staff.

 

Despite the new CDC guidance no longer requiring vaccinated individuals to wear masks indoors, wearing a mask is still required in the House chamber. There are simply too many far-right members of Congress who refuse to get vaccinated and I have two young children who are not yet eligible to be vaccinated themselves. I will do absolutely everything I can to keep them healthy and safe. 

 

But apparently Marjorie Taylor Greene and her staff think that’s unacceptable. 

 

While I was walking off the House floor, Marjorie’s top spokesperson yelled at me to take off my mask, saying, “Biden says you can take off your mask!”

 

After months of dealing with Marjorie Taylor Greene and her staff harassing people in Congress, I replied with exactly what was on my mind: “You don’t tell me what to f***ing do!”

 

Nobody should be bullied for wearing a mask. But while I have absolutely no regrets saying what I did, now Marjorie Taylor Greene is attacking me on Twitter and trying to cancel me for standing up to her staff bully. 

 

Will you help me keep standing up for what is right by pitching in a donation today? I’m dropping my personal ActBlue link below, and hope to see your donation come in today so we can keep standing up to far-right bullies of all kinds.
