By refusing to wear a mask, youve put them, staff & your colleagues at risk. You also set a terrible example for constituents who see your actions as permission to also act carelessly.

Look at these videos for one second, Mucarsel-Powell said to Barr, referring to a video of protests from both Venezuela and Portland. We have seen violence in Venezuela at the hands of Maduro. Firing tear gas at protesters and using brutal tactics to crush demonstrations. Thats what we see from dictators on both the left and the right. But its hard to distinguish those photos from the events and what weve seen by U.S. federal police in Portland tear gassing and breaking the bones of a peacefully protesting U.S. Army veteran. Very similar.
Miami Republican Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, who was not at the hearing, quickly responded.
I am shocked that she is unable to distinguish between the actions of the honorable men and women in law enforcement who risk their lives to defend the rule of law, and Maduros thugs who oppress, torture, and kill on behalf of a murderous, anti-American dictatorship, Diaz-Balart tweeted. Mucarsel-Powell should apologize immediately for her disgraceful insults to those who risk their lives to secure the rights and freedoms that we cherish, and who serve to protect the lives and property of Americans.
Mucarsel-Powell, the first member of Congress born in South America, tweeted back with a video of Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Committees top Republican, asking House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler during the hearing whether the video was shot in the U.S. or Venezuela.
I just want a clarification, Jordan said.
