GOP rep, forced to watch Biden address from home, slams social distancing measures
Fox News
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., called not being able to attend President Biden's first address to a joint session of Congress a "disservice to the country."
"We're paid a significant sum of money to do a job and work, and we should all have the opportunity to be there tonight," said Mace. "It's a disservice to the country, especially when it's during a time when you want to unify and bring people together." When Biden walked into the House chamber shortly after 9 p.m. ET, there were far fewer elbows to bump than in years past. Senators and representatives were encouraged to socially distance, and some, including House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi, could be seen wearing double masks.More Related News
