Colorado state Sen. Vicki Marble (R) on Wednesday lashed out against a pandemic safety bill that would allow legislators to participate remotely.

In a speech on the Colorado Senate floor, Marble explained that she is opposing the measure even though health conditions prevent her from wearing a mask.

“To be an elected representative of the people means making sacrifices, huge sacrifices,” Marble opined. “I feel that over the last 10 weeks our representative government has been shoved to the wayside and it’s more of a dictatorship — but it’s for the safety of the people so we let it go.”

According to Marble, “All these precautions, all the masks, all the spacing at the desks, all of these plexiglass partitions for perception so we can all feel safe. But we all really know it really doesn’t help.”

“Who are you kidding? Honestly, who are you kidding?” she asked before explaining how she shops at Walmart.

7. I don't go to Walmart.

But the Target I go to, and the grocery stores are all wiping down their carts.

I used to find it convenient to grab a cart from the parking lot on my way in. I suspect that I could still do so safely, but I happily take the wiped down cart from inside.
