GOP congressman suing Pelosi over mask fines tests positive for COVID-19

Republican Congressman Ralph Norman, who is suing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over a fine he received for violating the House's original mask mandate, has tested positive for COVID-19. The representative from South Carolina tweeted Thursday he's experiencing only "mild" symptoms, crediting his fully vaccinated status. 

Norman, along with fellow Republicans Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, filed a lawsuit against Pelosi last week claiming that the $500 fines they received in May for failing to wear a mask while on the House floor were unconstitutional. "After experiencing minor symptoms this morning, I sought a covid-19 test and was just informed the test results were positive," the congressman wrote. "Thankfully, I have been fully vaccinated and my symptoms remain mild. To every extent possible, I will continue my work virtually while in quarantine for the next ten (10) days."
