Racist, ugly communist Ayanna Pressley, a member of AOC’s “The Squad” has tested positive for COVID-19. She is also fully vaccinated.
Pressley joins a long list of lawmakers who have recently tested positive for COVID as the omicron variant of the virus spreads across the country. Democrats Rep. Barbara Lee, Rep. Antonio Delgado, Rep. James E. Clyburn, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Sen. Chris Coons, Rep. Kaiali’i Kahele, Rep. Bobby L. Rush, Rep. Doris Matsui, Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. all tested positive for the coronavirus since Dec. 21. Republican New York Rep. Nicole Malliotakis tested positive on Dec. 20, while other lawmakers of both parties tested positive in the days before.
“Vaccines save lives. With this unprecedented pandemic continuing to rage, I am deeply grateful for the scientists, researchers, and frontline healthcare workers who have worked tirelessly to develop vaccines that are safe and effective, and ensure that our communities are protected,” Pressley added in her statement.
The Massachusetts Democrat has been a supporter of mask and vaccine mandates, and called on Republican Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker to reinstate an indoor mask mandate in the state on Dec. 21. She said Baker’s advisory that residents wear masks while indoors “falls well short.”
