‘Daily Show’ Creates Great New Word To Describe House GOP Anger At Wearing Masks Again

Updated ·1 min read

Masks are mandated again in the House, and Republicans are furious.

On Thursday, a large group marched on the Senate ― where the wearing of masks is mainly voluntary ― to protest the rule.

“The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” responded with a great new word.

“Karensurrection (noun),” the Comedy Central program cracked on Twitter at footage of the maskless GOP lawmakers making their stand.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) restored the face mask policy this week amid concerns over the spread of the more transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus.

All House members and staff — even those who are fully vaccinated — must now wear a “well-fitted, medical-grade, filtration face mask” at work, according to guidelines issued by Dr. Brian Monahan, Congress’ attending physician.
