Republican congressman suing Pelosi over face masks has caught Covid

A Republican congressman who is suing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a mask mandate in Congress has caught Covid.

Ralph Norman, who is among three House Republicans suing the Democrat for asking members of the House to wear masks — as a form of protection against the virus – admitted on Thursday that he had been infected.

“After experiencing minor symptoms this morning, I sought a Covid-19 test and was just informed the test results were positive,” the Republican wrote in a statement. “Thankfully, I have been fully vaccinated and my symptoms remain mild.”
