Rouda Jr. criticizes GOP opponent for donation of masks to essential workers

April 15, 2020

Congressman Harley Rouda , Jr. was aggressively tweeting yesterday at Orange County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Michelle Steel for wearing a mask during her board of supervisors meeting.

Seriously.

Rouda feigned outrage over Steel wearing a mask (as recommended by the CDC) because he says so many essential workers don’t have one. He even included photo from the meeting.  

What Rouda conveniently left out of the photo and the attack were the 2,000 donated masks sitting right next to Steel. Steel had been thanking the Korean community for donating the masks to…essential workers like medical providers.

This isn’t the first time Rouda has tried to use COVID-19 to baselessly attack Steel, either.

What is Harley’s problem? Why is Junior aggressively tweeting at Michelle Steel instead of working with anyone and everyone who can help fix this crisis?
