Mediaite reports:
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) attended the Senate Judiciary Committee’s first day of confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett on Monday, and he prominently chose to not wear a face mask as he spoke during the proceeding.
Barrett’s confirmation to the Supreme Court was thrown into turmoil at the top of the month when President Donald Trump, his allies, and numerous top Republicans got infected by the coronavirus after a White House Rose Garden event.
The gathering — deemed a super-spreader event — was held in celebration of Barrett’s nomination. Not only was Lee among those infected at the non-socially distanced affair, he was caught on film embracing people throughout the event.

Why is Senator Mike Lee, who tested Covid-positive, speaking without wearing a mask at this hearing with Judge Barrett and her family present and everyone else there exposed?

Sen. Lee, who had positive COVID test ten days ago, is not wearing a mask as he speaks.
He says Capitol’s attending physician has cleared him, he’s not contagious.
An even greater show of faith? Sen. @JohnCornyn, who is next to Lee, had no mask on for much of Lee’s remarks. pic.twitter.com/wD1gQwYJD1

Mike Lee and Lindsey Graham are both selfish assholes.
One for not wearing a mask when he tested positive for COVID-19, and the other for not testing when he might have COVID-19.
