You might remember earlier this week when Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal blamed Republicans who were maskless as the U.S. Capitol was being stormed for the fact that she tested positive for Covid-19:
I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one.https://t.co/wVmgroKsdf

Rep. Jayapal was also shown on video not wearing a mask in the Capitol that day — at least not when this was taken:
But the attempt to make Republican members of Congress culprits (for a different reason) during the Capitol siege has gone to the next level with Rep. Ayanna Pressley accusing maskless GOPers of engaging in “chemical warfare” that day:

For some reason we’re reminded of Rahm Emanuel’s “never let a crisis go to waste” rule.

The “unity and healing” lasted a grand total of ZERO seconds.
I hope normal people are seeing how hard they’re playing up this rhetoric about violence, now they’re saying that not wearing a mask is “chemical warfare” https://t.co/MCMyooqOKy

Is this incitement? Asymptomatic people don’t spread COVID. No Republican has been shown to have it. Why is this still allowed to be said days later? https://t.co/y8vZVk6BRZ

If Ayanna was an intelligent person, she is not, should would know her hyperbole would be more effective if she used the correct scare words.
Covid-19 is not a chemical. It is a virus. So it would be biological Warfare, not chemical. https://t.co/hs7OfdDvbS

When language really has no meaning anymore. Radicals on the left and right throwing words around and changing their meaning to fit their own biases and anger. https://t.co/FZUzGR6wvR

It’s worth noting that Rep. Pressley received the Covid-19 vaccine despite the medical community “exacting ostensibly medical apartheid on black Americans.”
