GOP lawmaker with COVID-19 tries to explain why he wasn't wearing a mask on the House floor

On Monday, Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) announced he learned last week that he and members of his family tested positive for what he termed the "Wuhan virus" — assuring everyone he was out of danger and recovering, but complaining that he wasn't able to taste bacon.

CNN congressional correspondent Manu Raju proceeded to ask Rice why, a few weeks before his diagnosis on May 28, he had taken to the House floor without wearing a mask — and he tried to defend himself by claiming he had followed all of the other recommended guidelines.
