Criticism grows of GOP lawmakers, including Pa.’s Perry, who refused masks while sheltering during Capitol riot


WASHINGTON — President-elect Joe Biden on Monday chastised GOP lawmakers, including one from Pennsylvania, for refusing to wear masks while they were held in a safe location as a violent mob of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol last week.

As lawmakers waited for law enforcement to secure the Capitol on Wednesday, Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., went around a packed room passing out masks to people without them, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

“When they were hiding from the mob, she was going around trying to hand out masks to everybody,” Biden said to a group of reporters. “And her Republican colleagues wouldn’t wear a mask. I think it’s irresponsible.”

In a video obtained by Punchbowl News, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.; Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla.; Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.; Scott Perry, R-10th District, and Michael Cloud, R-Texas, were all not wearing masks, and they turned down the disposable masks that Rochester was offering.
