U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat said Thursday he had tested positive for COVID-19, becoming the fourth member of Congress to announce they had contracted the coronavirus following a mob attack on the U.S. Capitol last week. "I am following guidance from my physician and quarantining at home after having tested positive for COVID-19," he wrote on Twitter. Espaillat is the latest lawmaker to test positive for the coronavirus in what has become a partisan issue, with Democrats blaming Republicans for not wearing masks while sheltering in secure areas on Jan. 6, as violent supporters of Republican President Donald Trump stormed the building.

So? Even people wearing masks al the time are testing positive for Covid. Some actually have it.
It hasn't been long enough for it to infect someone to the point of symptoms. This is utter malarkey and Agit-Prop-speech. If anything, they GAVE IT to the protestors.

Die and suffer like the rest of us. I caught it after Halloween and didn’t even go it trick or treating. It was a4 day head cold. No big deal. I’m healthy as a horse and 70 years old. If you drink smoke and don’t take care of yourself and have underlying Heath problems, you won’t be so fortunate. Get your affairs in order.

Maybe they got it from the covid positive dems Nancy Pelosi brought in off their sick beds to vote for her for speaker. Otherwise, she could have lost.

Per #2, why is this news?
Lord Fauci, the CDC, and other government health agencies at every level repeatedly told us that protests were essential activity and not subject to any Covid-prevention measures. I'm sure each of these Democrat-Communists nodded and voiced a "That's right!" at the time.

Since all the Reps were vaccinated that means the vaccine doesn’t work.

Please drop me from the list regarding those testing positive, or have come down with the sniffles.

Those darn, filthy, disease laden “terrorists” who didn’t get anywhere close to these morons.
If masks work, and we know the congresscreeps are all wearing their masks, then how did any of them get sick? Are these Congresscreeps asymptomatic? False, false flag so they can blame the protesters for attempted murder.

You can thank Nancy for that. She had a COVID infected congresswoman return to the house to infect everyone so that she could get her vote.

I surprised I haven't seen the events in Washington blamed on climate change. That will probably happen next week.

Frankly Reuters..I don't give a damn. If masks were the the answer they would not have tested positive.

You gotta love the linkage of the "mob attack on the U. S. Capitol" with testing positive for the Chinese Flu.

Since the virus can incubate for up to 2 weeks, no one ever knows exactly where they caught it. I have a neighbor whose wife had it and his job made him stay home and quarantine with her for 2 weeks. He never caught the virus.

I'm still convinced the Fall positives for the Republicans were enemy action.
Four Dems getting it strikes me as normal for rule-breaking, pseudo-science nut jobs.
