Rep.-elect Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said Monday that "Congress shouldn't be putting themselves first in line for the COVID-19 vaccination" as many of her soon-to-be colleagues are being vaccinated following the examples of both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

"For as long as the vaccines are limited, we should prioritize healthcare and frontline workers, and every person at greater risk, especially the elderly.

I've had COVID already, and can attest, it is a serious illness. I want to help make sure others don't get it, especially those who are most.

Olympic ski jumpers slam officials after 5 female skiers get disqualified over outfits

ZHANGJIAKOU, CHINA - FEBRUARY 07: Katharina Althaus of Team Germany jumps during Mixed Team Ski Jumping First Round at National Ski Jumping Centre on February 07, 2022 in Zhangjiakou, China (Photo by Cameron Spencer/Getty Images) Slovenia’s win in the Olympic debut of the mixed team ski jumping event on Monday was overshadowed by a number of disqualifications over suit violations that led several outraged athletes and coaches to slam the sport’s governing body.
