He had said government-imposed mask mandates “represent a harmful combination of virtue signaling and unjustified fear.”
The announcement came a bit more than a week after Norman, along with fellow Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Thomas Massie of Kentucky filed their lawsuit after they were all fined $500 for not wearing masks on the floor of the House of Representatives.
The lawsuit came after the House Ethics Committee upheld the fines against the lawmakers for protesting the requirement by not wearing masks during a May vote. The Republicans argued at the time the rules were not in line with guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.The House mask mandate was lifted June 11 but reinstated again last week amid a rise in cases fueled by the more contagious delta variant.
