Pennsylvania congressman's righteous rant about GOP colleagues who hid a member's Covid 19 infection

The GOP house leadership knew this member had tested positive and was self-quarantining with the exception of committee work with unknowing democratic colleagues. What's more, the republican-controlled committee was responsible for pushing the "fake crisis, reopen now!" agenda of the state GOP.

The democrat in this video, Brian Sims, donated a kidney to a friend earlier this year, and has now served daily alongside a GOP congressman who knew he was positive and hid, with the assistance of GOP leadership, that fact from democratic co-workers. While taking precautions for their own well-being, of course.

Here's the rant:

I am sure that will change soon. We are such a reactionary country. Although who would have though a jerk would put his personal medical situation ahead of his colleagues.

about republicans.

And I am in agreement regarding Brian Sims' complete and duly warranted anger. Republicans are probably doing this across the country.
