Jackasses on the hill

Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) was spotted at the Capitol without a face mask on Friday, telling CNN there's "just no need."

According to CNN's Manu Raju, Yoho was seen without a mask around the Capitol and on the House floor ahead of a vote on Democrats' most recent coronavirus stimulus package.

When asked by Raju why he chose to go without a face mask, Yoho responded that there's "no need" and also cited "herd immunity."

“Viruses do what viruses do,” Yoho said. “I think the only way you’re going to get it is to get exposed.”

  

Brilliant, Ted. Yes, that is the way you get it. And if you have it, you fucking asshole, you're exposing everyone else.

Why wasn't it a requirement to wear a mask to be allowed to come in and vote?

Several other lawmakers chose not to wear masks at the Capitol on Friday, so long as they were able to maintain distance from other lawmakers and aides.

They can still spread virus particles in enclosed spaces.

And Rand Paul is still an idiot/asshole.

Last week, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he was not wearing a mask because he recovered from COVID-19.

“I've already had the virus, so I can't get it again, and I can't give it to anybody,” he said. When reporters asked him about reports that a newer strain of the virus could allow people to get reinfected, Paul responded, “That’s not true.”

“I can’t get it again, nor can I transmit it,” he continued. “So of all the people you'll meet here, I'm about the only safe person in Washington."

On the other hand, you could be the biggest dickhead.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
