PA GOP Colleague Admits to Hiding Positive Coronavirus Test

Pennsylvania Rep. Andrew Lewis is being slammed by state Democrats after he revealed in a Facebook Live video Wednesday that he tested positive for Coronavirus but chose to keep his May 20th results private to protect those around him and because he was only in close contact with a few of his colleagues.

Democratic Rep. Brian Simms went on an epic, 12-minute Facebook Live rant against Lewis, saying “Every single day of this crisis the government committee has met so members could line up one after one and explain that it was safe to go back to work. During that time they were testing positive. They were notifying one another…and they didn’t notify us.”

Simms took another shot at Republicans, adding “I never ever knew that the Republican leadership of this state would put so many of us at risk for partisanship to cover up a lie….and that lie is that we’re all safe from COVID-19!”
