Democratic socialist leader Rashida Tlaib, the U.S. Representative for Michigan's 13th congressional district, is getting flak for a comment she made about her wearing masks. Tlaib was caught on video saying that she is only wearing a mask because she is being filmed by a “Republican tracker.”

On October 6, the conservative news website Washington Free Beacon shared a video of this remark on Twitter. Tlaib, who is vaccinated, was seen on Monday, October 4, greeting a maskless supporter outside an event in Detroit where Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge promoted President Biden’s infrastructure bills.
