As we told you earlier, the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing for Amy Coney Barrett concluded today ahead of a vote expected next week. As the hearing ended, Dianne Feinstein gave a hug to Republican committee chair Lindsey Graham, with neither wearing a mask.
Perhaps Feinstein and Graham should have first consulted the family of Sen. Chris Coons, who Fox News’ Chad Pergram quoted as having said that his family thinks there’s coronavirus all over the hearing room:
Dem DE Sen Coons on getting tested daily for Barrett hrngs: I'm going home after this. My family, not surprisingly, thinks this is a room full of people who have either been infected or may currently be.

Well that’s nice of him… er, maybe:
Wht! Let me go home and spread the infection around to those I love?
The Dems sure have some “cause me to bang my head against a wall” representatives!— Common Sense (@nevrcomplicated) October 15, 2020
Then WHY would you go home if you think you are exposed lol. Do you hear yourself? If you really believed that you would not go near them and they would want you to stay put for however long needed. #Theatrics

If true, either he or his family are complete morons.

Maybe Coons should run that by Dr. Fauci first.
Imagine how grocery workers felt in the height of it.. These people are so out of touch

What an elitist out of touch thing to say. There are countless people working hard and they're keeping this country moving every single day – which is more than I can say for him.

Excellent points — these members of Congress panicked by COVID-19 should try making a living outside the bubble.
