Entire Georgia Senate Told To Self-Quarantine After Republican Goes In Despite Coronavirus Test

[ffr]

Georgia State Senator Brandon Beach (R) was tested for the coronavirus on Saturday after experiencing a cough and a mild fever. But that didn’t stop him from going into work despite directives around the nation to self-quarantine in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic that has stalled the economy and uprooted the lives of Americans across the country.

Beach’s test came back positive for coronavirus on Wednesday, and the news has forced the entire Georgia senate to self-quarantine until the end of the month.

Beach’s decision to keep reporting to work has earned him harsh criticism from at least one colleague.

“I’m shaking with rage. We were told if we had symptoms to refrain from going to the Capitol on Monday. Senator Brandon Beach knew he was exhibiting symptoms since MARCH THE 10TH!” Representative Scot Turner (R) wrote on Facebook. “I have an elderly hospice patient at home. He irresponsibly stayed all day at the Capitol on Monday and exposed all of us.” - PoliticusUSA

I feel like this is happening where I work too. Republicans don't have what you and I have, a sense of responsibility to others.

1. That's not going to bode well for him

If he lives to see another election.

2. Republicans - a party without honor

No respect for truth, integrity, or other people.

3. The President said it was a hoax

4. As a Georgian, I am here to say that the GA KKKGOP are reprehensible scum.

I am so goddamned filled with rage at the entire GA GOP and our newly appointed, criminal Senator, not to mention the rest of tbe GOP congressional delegation.
