Drama unfolded in the House chamber today when a member of the State House refused to follow the same rules every other member is following, and get his FREE COVID test. Testing is set up at the Capitol for all members and staff to reduce spread so we can get to work! #gapol

At what point to these publicity stunts and media thirst traps go too far? There are 180 members of the State House, many who are in the high risk category, and there is a new, more contagious strain of COVID-19. Does he need to kill a colleague to care? #gapol
And to his point about teachers and first responders— no one would argue, including them, that being tested often and keeping people home that are sick, would not be a great idea! His take on this is just odd. #gapol
Finally, if not getting tested and defying the rules is his hill to die on, I hope he understands that he could take some people with him...and does he want that on his conscience? #gapol
