The Rhode Island congressman felt the sneeze coming on as he sat behind fellow Democrat Yvette Clark, who was speaking at the time.<\/p>\n
He did not use a tissue to catch the germs, and viewers noted he did not use sanitizer.<\/p>\n
After replacing his mask he was seen turning to speak to a colleague to his right.<\/p>\n
Michigan representative Brenda Lawrence, sitting on his left a few feet away, shot him a sideways glare before turning back to her papers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A clip of the sneeze has been viewed more than a million times on Twitter.<\/p>\n
One disgusted viewer said: "Into his hand too! Gross. No one taught him to use his elbow."<\/p>\n
Political scientist Seth Masket said: "What does he think the mask is for?"<\/p>\n
Another viewer said: "I love how he looked around to see if anyone was watching as if he wasn\u2019t on national television."<\/p>\n

Cicilline was one of three Democrats who wrote the article of impeachment charging the President with inciting insurrection before last week\u2019s deadly Capitol invasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ten Republicans sided with opponents to pass the motion by 232 to 197 – making Trump the first president to be impeached twice.<\/p>\n
Speaker Nancy Pelosi picked Cicilline as one of the impeachment managers who will prosecute the trial in the Senate.<\/p>\n
He tweeted yesterday: "The President is a clear and present danger to our republic. We will hold him accountable."<\/p>\n
'CALAMITY'<\/h2>\n
President Trump was accused of stoking a violent mob of supporters before they stormed Congress last Wednesday, leading to five deaths.<\/p>\n
And during the hours-long siege, he heaped praise on the rioters as "very special" in a jaw-dropping Twitter video.<\/p>\n
Politicians were forced to shelter in a secure room – where some Republicans refused to wear masks amid the mayhem.<\/p>\n
Three House members have since tested positive for coronavirus, and Congress physician Brian Monahan has warned they all could have been exposed during the lockdown.<\/p>\n
Some 3,000 National Guard soldiers were stationed around Congress yesterday in case of further trouble on the day of the impeachment debate.<\/p>\n
The number of troops is expected to rise to 20,000 as a major security operation swings into action for Joe Biden's inauguration next week.<\/p>\n
Last night Trump appeared in a new video calling for calm and slamming the Capitol riot as a "calamity".<\/p>\n
He said: "Mob violence goes against everything I believe in and everything our movement stands for.<\/p>\n
"No true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence."<\/p>\n
