Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) had no qualms about calling out a fellow lawmaker. Brown asked Alaska’s Senator Sullivan to wear a mask while speaking. None to pleased by the request, Sullivan responded, “I don’t need your instruction.”
Video of the moment quickly went viral.
The video garnered a lot of attention on social media.

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) decided to join the fray calling Sullivan “a complete ass” in a tweet. Cruz claimed the Alaskan was “over 50 feet away” from other people — apparently forgetting that there were several staffers in front of Sullivan. His comments earned him quite a bit of ridicule on Twitter.
It’s pretty revealing that you don’t consider the staffers right in front of Sullivan as people worth protecting.

With 11 million cases and counting, Senators should be setting a good example and wearing their masks while on the floor. D.C. has not been immune to the coronavirus by a long shot, and it was just announced on Tuesday that 87-year-old Chuck Grassley (R-IA) was exposed and quarantining.
GOPer Chuck Grassley was on the Senate Floor yesterday, he’s now in quarantine after announcing he was exposed to someone infected with Coronavirus.
Rafael @tedcruz is attacking Sen. Sherrod Brown for wanting people in Senate to wear masks, but still won’t defend his wife.

We need more Sherrod Brown’s and fewer Ted Cruz’s.#WearAMask
