HOLY SHIT. Per @BrianSimsPA, in PA's state legislature, GOP leadership HID the fact that a Republican tested positive for COVID and yet still interacted with Democratic members, who then went back home to their families, likely exposing their loved ones. And the Republicans KNEW.
Not only that, but just months ago, @BrianSimsPA had quietly donated a kidney to a neighbor dying of renal failure. He's immunocompromised. He could lose his life because Republicans didn't want to UNDERMINE THEIR OWN TALKING POINTS BY ADMITTING THAT A GOP MEMBER TESTED POSITIVE.
.@BrianSimsPA: "Holy shit. It’s not your business to put my life at risk. It’s not your business to put the lives of the CHILDREN of our members at risk-- of the SPOUSES of our members at risk."
“I have spent so much of my time here trying to see beyond the blind, disgusting partisanship. And now that partisanship has grown deadly. Deadly."
House Speaker @MikeTurzai & members of GOP Leadership who withheld info-- you shouldn't just lose your job, you should be in jail.
