> Democrats implemented the rule last year amid the early days of the Covid-
19 pandemic. Since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi instated the rule that members
had to wear masks on the floor, many Republicans have evaded the rules and
been fined as a result. Many GOP lawmakers continued to protest the mask
rules long after the protocols were first instilled.
