He expressed confusion surrounding the way Pelosi has been reacting to the revised CDC guidelines because in the Senate you are not required to wear a mask. Yet in the House, Pelosi has said you must wear a mask.<\/p>\n<p>This came shortly after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was fined $500 along with two other GOP lawmakers for refusing to follow Pelosi\u2019s mandate. Pelosi said the congressional mask policies are about scientific reason and authority, stating she doesn\u2019t want the House Chamber to become a Petri dish.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her remarks, the Democrat was seen walking through a large crowd without her mask on while attending a ceremony at the White House on Thursday. Critics of Pelosi pointed out the hypocrisy of such a move, saying the House Speaker can barely follow her own policies.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/andrew-cuomo-set-to-make-5-1m-profit-from-book-about-covid-19-leadership\/\">Andrew Cuomo Set To Make $5.1M Profit From Book About COVID-19 Leadership<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 OCTOBER 16: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) looks on during a news conference discussing the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, on Capitol Hill on October 16, 2019. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2278597,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-533881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2278597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
