Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was spotted dancing without a mask on Friday in what appeared to be an indoor area in Puerto Rico, despite a government mask mandate.
Schumer traveled to the island, along with other high-profile New York politicians, for the annual SOMOS Puerto Rico Conference to help advance Latino representation in the state's government.
"Schumer is feeling the music at Somos," New York Times reporter Emma Fitzsimmons said in a Friday night tweet with a video of the senator dancing.
The tweet came after House lawmakers passed Democrats' $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill across party lines, with 13 Republicans voting in favor of the legislation and six Democrats voting against it.
