Republicans cop a fine for defying mask mandate
Three house Republicans have incurred $500 fines for breaking a rule requiring masks in the House chamber.
Seven others have been issued a first offence warning, according to a Capitol offical.
The fine rises to $2,500 for a third offense which is unlikely to deter future infractions from the right-wing lawmakers.
Out of the 10 lawmakers punished only one of them has received the vaccine.
