Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) thinks masks only need to be worn if someone is there to catch you without one, according to remarks caught on video during a Detroit community event.<\/p>\n<p><span>The &#8220;Squad&#8221; member told attendees at the event that she only wore a mask because a &#8220;Republican tracker&#8221; was filming her. After doing an event with Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary Marcia Fudge <\/span><span>on Monday, Tlaib conversed with a maskless attendee who mistakenly thought the Democrat scolded him for being &#8220;the one unmasked guy&#8221; in the area. Tlaib responded by insisting she only wore a mask because a &#8220;Republican tracker&#8221; was recording the exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;Oh, no, oh, not you!&#8221; Tlaib said as she pulled her mask away from her face. &#8220;No, no, no\u2014I&#8217;m just wearing it because I&#8217;ve got a Republican tracker here.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Just weeks before the event, the &#8220;Squad&#8221; member faced criticism when she danced maskless at a crowded, indoor wedding in Dearborn, Mich. The video <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/rashida-tlaib-spotted-dancing-maskless-at-large-indoor-gathering-in-cdc-orange-zone\"><span>surfaced<\/span><\/a><span> on the same day Tlaib <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RashidaTlaib\/status\/1424581069572038656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1424581069572038656%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Frashida-tlaib-spotted-dancing-maskless-at-large-indoor-gathering-in-cdc-orange-zone\"><span>slammed<\/span><\/a><span> Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) for urging his followers to &#8220;resist&#8221; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention masking guidelines. Tlaib attended the wedding days after the CDC recommended wearing masks indoors regardless of vaccination status in local areas with &#8220;high&#8221; community transmission\u2014a categorization that applied to Dearborn at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"m_-1759163172479384912gmail-docs-internal-guid-9fd726fb-7fff-0cab-9674-ce765e278489\">Tlaib, who did not return a request for comment, is far from the only Democrat to ignore her own rhetoric on masks. Fellow &#8220;Squad&#8221; member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) masked up for an August photo with liberal activists but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/aoc-coronavirus-mask-capitol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/aoc-coronavirus-mask-capitol&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1633620545824000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGMBH1HyPO81tpH7n-zJpusn27g7g\">quickly removed<\/a> her face covering after the picture was taken. One month prior, Virginia gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe (D.) violated federal regulations when he refused to wear a mask on an Amtrak train. McAuliffe has pledged to maintain the state&#8217;s mask mandate in schools and told voters in September to &#8220;follow the CDC guidelines.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>President Joe Biden in July told &#8220;all Americans who live in the areas covered by the CDC guidance&#8221; to wear a mask\u2014a sentiment that Fudge herself has <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SecFudge\/status\/1371128991382335489\">echoed<\/a>. HUD&#8217;s website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/coronavirus\">notes<\/a> that public housing inspectors &#8220;follow safety protocols informed by the CDC, which includes wearing proper protection and following other related safety measures.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>HUD did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p><span>Fudge is not featured in the video, but she would not be the first Biden administration official who has condoned violations of mask requirements. U.S. Agency for International Development head<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Samantha Power&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/samantha-power-mask-scandal\/\"><span>rode<\/span><\/a><span> an Amtrak train maskless in September. Climate envoy John Kerry, meanwhile, was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/photos-john-kerry-flouts-mask-mandate-at-airport\/\"><span>caught<\/span><\/a><span> removing his mask during an American Airlines flight in March and again at Boston Logan International Airport in July.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tlaib&#8217;s congressional allies have also skirted mask orders and recommendations in recent months. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/democrats-maskless-wedding\/\"><span>partied indoors<\/span><\/a><span> without a mask at interior secretary Deb Haaland&#8217;s wedding in August. Days before the ceremony, New Mexico governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D.) issued a statewide order that reimposed an indoor mask mandate. Nevada Democrats Jacky Rosen and Susie Lee <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/nevada-democrats-costume-party\/\"><span>violated<\/span><\/a><span> their own state&#8217;s mandate during a costume party held on the 20th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
