👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿 This senator has recently been turned out of congress for refusing a covid test.. Whether he is being genuine in his motives or not I can’t say, in my opinion his argument is valid.

“.. Member refused to leave of his/her own accord.. authority granted to the Speaker by House Rules.. escorted out of Chamber..

I work for you, and I cannot in good conscience watch expensive tests that should be given to Georgia citizens who desperately need them be wasted for nothing more than political optics at the Capitol."

Surely someone or multiple people threatening your life through direct harm or indirectly by “creating a dangerous environment”, is at least on par with a healthy person refusing a covid test - that most workers don’t have access to on the jobs THEY must also perform daily.

Whilst Details of the specific threat congress have been left vague and subject to interpretation & imagination by onlookers, One concrete issue mentioned is illegal carrying of guns within capital.

There Seems to be lack of consensus in congress as to how to deal with threat. Let alone what constitutes threat. Lack of accountability towards the public, for claims made within congress.
