(Alex Wong\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 6:08 PM PT \u2013 Thursday, July 29, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>House Republicans have refused to follow a newly imposed mask mandate in the House as Capitol Police are now being ordered to arrest any visitors not willing to comply. Capitol Police are to arrest any staff and visitors if they are not wearing masks on the House side of the Capitol and its office buildings. This is according to a memo obtained by Florida Rep. Kat Cammack (R) on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Congressional aides, however, do not face arrest as officers are advised to report the noncompliance of lawmakers to the House sergeant-at-arms. This comes after Congress\u2019 chief physician re-imposed mask mandates on Wednesday, causing tensions to rise on the floor.<\/p>\n<p>GOP lawmakers have said Nancy Pelosi\u2019s (D-Calif.) directive was tyrannical and an overstep of her authority as speaker of the House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve watched the Democrats continue to lie to us. She first said if we were vaccinated, we\u2019d go back to work. If we\u2019re trying to get America vaccinated, what type of message does this provide,\u201d said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). \u201cWe were vaccinated\u2026we are not a hotspot, but they\u2019re forcing you to wear a mask, not in the Senate, but in the House. This is just about more control.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FXFfEWXJQm\">pic.twitter.com\/FXFfEWXJQm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 U.S. Capitol Police (@CapitolPolice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CapitolPolice\/status\/1420810728387264517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 29, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>South Carolina Rep.
