TO PUT THEM ON, WHAT THE HELL IS
THE MATTER WITH THEM?
IT’S TIME TO GROW UP.
>> IN THE TEN DAYS SINCE THE
SUPERSPREADER INCIDENT, AT LIVE
FIVE LAWMAKERS TESTED POSITIVE
FOR COVID.
DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS ARE FED UP
WITH MASKLESS GOP COLLEAGUES
RECKLESSLY EXPOSING THEM TO A
DEADLY VIRUS.
SO NOW HOUSE SPEAKER PELOSI IS
COMING FROM THAT PAPER.
SHE DROPPED THE HAMMER EARLIER
THIS WEEK BY IMPOSING NEW FINES
FOR RULE BREAKERS.
$500 FOR THE FIRST STRIKE,
$2,500 FOR THE SECOND, FOR
EVERYONE CAUGHT BARE FACED ON
THE CHAMBER FLOOR AND SHE’S
SNATCHING IT STRAIGHT FROM THEIR
HOUSE SALARIES.
JOINING ME NOW, CONNIE COLEMAN
WATSON FROM NEW JERSEY, WHO
TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE
CORONAVIRUS AFTER SHAKING
SHELTER WITH THESE MASKLESS
REPUBLICANS WITH THE RIOT AND
DR. MADILLIA FROM THE BOSTON
MEDICAL HOSPITAL AND MSNBC
CONTRIBUTOR.
CONGRESSWOMAN, LET ME START WITH
YOU.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
ACTUALLY, I FEEL WELL.
I JUST HAVE THE SYMPTOMS OF A
COLD.
IT HASN’T CHANGED AT ALL, NO
FEVER.
I’M VERY, VERY FORTUNATE.
>> YOU LOOK LIKE YOU’RE FEELING
WELL AND I’M VERY HAPPY TO HEAR
THAT.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT YOUR
COLLEAGUE, WHO VICE PRESIDENT
BIDEN JUST REFERENCED, LISA
BLOUNT ATTEMPTING TO HAND OUT
MASKS TO SOME REPUBLICAN
COLLEAGUES.
MUCH THEY WERE QUITE DISMISSIVE
LAUGHING AT HER, WAVING HER OFF
AS SHE WAS TRYING TO HAND THEM
THESE MASKS.
WERE AWE WITNESSED TO THAT?
WERE YOU CLOSE BY WHEN YOU SAW
HER HANDING OUT THE MASKS?
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY THEY
REFUSED?
>> SO I COULD SEE HER AND THEN A
LITTLE BIT AFTER SHE HAD TRIED
TO DISTRIBUTE THEM, SHE AND I
WERE TALKING AND SHE SAID, I WAS
JUST TRYING TO HAND THEM THE
MASKS, ASK THEM IF THEY WANTED A
NEW MASK OR IF THEY WANTED A
MASK, AND SHE SAID, YOU KNOW,
THEY WERE REFUSING THEM.
I CAN’T IMAGINE THERE HAVING
BEEN APPROACHED BY ANYBODY NICER
AND KINDER AND MORE LOVING THAT
LISA BLUNT ROCHESTER.
BUT I DIDN’T ACTUALLY SEE THEM
SORT OF SNEERING AT HER OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT I COULD
SEE THEM DOWN THE WAY FROM ME
DOWN THE ROOM TRYING TO GO FROM
MEMBER TO MEMBER THAT DIDN’T
HAVE OR PERSON TO PERSON, THAT
DIDN’T HAVE A MASK ON.
IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE TO ME
THAT THEY WOULD BE SO CALLOUS
AND DISRESPECTFUL.
BUT IT ISN’T LOST ON ME THAT
THEY’RE ALSO, YOU KNOW, THE
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS IS PRINCIPALLY
RESPONSIBLE, I BELIEVE, WITH WHY
WE WERE THERE IN THE FIRST DOG
GONE PLACE, BECAUSE HAD IT NOT
BEEN THE CHALLENGES TO THE
ELECTORAL VOTE COMING IN FROM
STATES THAT HAD LEGITIMATELY
COUNTED, RECOUNTED, AGAIN
COUNTED AND VERIFIED THE OUTCOME
OF THIS ELECTION, HAD IT NOT
BEEN FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES INCITING THIS AND
HIS MINIONS ENCOURAGING ALONG
WITH THAT, WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD
