On Thursday, Rep. Thomas Massie blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's new order for Capitol Police to arrest any staff or visitors in the House without a mask.
“This is INSANE. Might as well come into my office and arrest my entire staff. We are not wearing masks. I support the Capitol Hill Police, but the Chief of Police made a mistake here. The physician and the chief of police don’t have this authority,” Massie tweeted.

ThinkAmericana reports:
U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) have been instructed to arrest staff and visitors in the House if they are without a mask, even if they are vaccinated.
A memo issued by USCP Chief Thomas Manger on Wednesday reads, “If a visitor or staff member fails to wear a mask after a request is made to do so, the visitor or staff shall be denied entry to House office buildings or the House side of the Capitol.”
“Any person who fails to either comply or leave the premises after being asked to do so would be subject to an arrest for Unlawful Entry,” the memo added.
“This is such an overstep of Speaker Pelosi’s authority to basically make our Capitol Police arrest staff members and report on members [of Congress],” Rep. Kat Cammack reportedly told Fox News. “It’s absolutely unconscionable that this is where we’re at.”
“Cammack, like many other GOP reps, are up in arms about the return this week of coronavirus mask mandates at the House, regardless of vaccination status. The mask rules follow updated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance in the wake of the rise of the contagious COVID delta variant and lower-than-expected vaccination rates,” Fox News added.
