‘A callous disregard for life’: GOP lawmaker kicked out of Illinois legislative session over refusal to wear mask[/quote]

[quote]On the first day of the Illinois General Assembly’s special pandemic session, in a makeshift chamber in the Bank of Springfield Center, the first order of business was to vote that everyone must wear a mask — a rule that passed overwhelmingly with bipartisan support.

But there was one Republican holdout on Wednesday: state Rep. Darren Bailey, who sat smiling at his desk on the floor of the arena and refused to put one on.

“[If] you want to send me or anyone else outside the doors today, I understand. Go right ahead,” Bailey said when asked to comply, NPR Illinois reported. “But know this: If you do that, you’re silencing millions of voices of people who have had enough."

His colleagues on both sides of the aisle didn’t appear too worried. They kicked him out of the legislature by an 81-27 vote.

“Doormen, please remove Rep. Bailey,” said state Rep. Jay Hoffman (D), before a group of men in masks escorted the maskless Bailey from the arena, the state’s temporary legislative home to allow for more social distancing.[/quote][/quote]
