“2 new Republicans — including @mtgreenee — are being told by House floor staff that they have to put their masks on. as of now, they seem to be telling the floor staff that they will not put it on. Taylor Greene is leaving the floor with the other R, who were trying to ID,” Punchbowl News’s Jake Sherman tweeted Sunday.
“Now, the Republiacn (sic) and Democratic floor staff are in a screaming match on the floor. So this Congress is going great already,” he added.

The 117th Congress convened on Sunday, where new members will be sworn in and Nancy Pelosi is expected to be reelected as House speaker.
There was no immediately available video of the reported “screaming match,” but Greene responded to Sheerman’s tweets.
“Well I actually do have a mask,” she said in response, accompanied by a photo of herself wearing a “TRUMP WON” mask.

A spokesman for Greene’s office told the Washington Examiner that “there was no ‘screaming match’ when Rep. Greene was on the floor,” reiterating that squabble was between “the floor staff of both parties.”
Greene later also took aim at a Democratic colleague who will reportedly be present for Pelosi’s speakership vote, despite announcing on Dec. 28 that she tested positive for the coronavirus.
Greene laid blame on Democrats for strict lockdowns in the country that have shuttered businesses. “But it’s ok with @SpeakerPelosi to walk #COVID19 positive members in the House so she can get her precious votes to be Speaker?”
So let me get this straight.
Democrats shut down this country, and
businesses,
churches,
schools,
force masks,
and ruin millions of Americans lives.But it’s ok with @SpeakerPelosi to walk #COVID19 positive members in the House so she can get her precious votes to be Speaker? https://t.co/oBQf4T5VqZ

“Rep. Greene was not wearing a mask on the floor because rules haven’t been adopted yet for the 117th Congress and Rep. Pelosi is changing the rules to allow COVID positive Democrat members who are supposed to be in quarantine vote,” Greene’s spokesman added in his comment. “Rep. Greene is healthy, but Rep. Pelosi is bringing in COVID positive members of her party for her desperate attempt to cling to the gavel.”
Greene has been an outspoken supporter of President Trump and said she “will not certify a stolen election” amid the president’s continued claims that he won on Nov. 3.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
