Oakmont Bakery responds after Eric Trump makes ‘surprise visit’ without a mask

OAKMONT, Pa. — President Donald Trump’s son Eric made a surprise visit to one of Allegheny County’s most popular spots Thursday morning: Oakmont Bakery.

But it’s the nature of the visit that has sparked controversy.

Trump wore a mask into the building but removed it when interacting with supporters.

Channel 11 News' exchange partners at TribLIVE were there as Trump spoke to supporters at the popular bakery. He handed out cookies that featured images of his father, which is part of the bakery’s traditional cookie poll leading up to an election.

Trump is in the lead, with 13,656 cookies sold, Oakmont Bakery owner Marc Serrao told The Trib. The bakery has sold 2,813 Biden cookies.

Of course, the mask is what the "Karens" of the media focus on.

I walked into a deli on staten island at 1am last night with a big sign on its door that read MUST HAVE MASK OR NO ENTRY.

I walked in without one and even the workers didn’t have one on.

But during the day they say they enforce it more.

Good thing i’m a night person.

That must have been exciting, seeing Eric Trump at the bakery. It was just a brief visit. He wasn’t making any long speeches, so any ‘danger’ should be minimal.
Such a Cameo (First Family!)Visit just would not be as effective, had he hidden his face behind a mask.

Other than the fearpers here does anyone actually care what the Karen’s say at this point. If you are afraid of someone who probably gets tested several times a week... then you are probably the one with the problem.

I was there several hours after his visit. At that point in my day I had no idea he’d been there. Got my Trump cookies and ate them during the debate. Delicious!

Buried below the headline:

“Trump is in the lead, with 13,656 cookies sold, Oakmont Bakery owner Marc Serrao told The Trib. The bakery has sold 2,813 Biden cookies.”

That’s the story.

Apparently, according to some other stories, the cookie sale count has been accurate in past elections.

The story focuses on a mask?

The left is obsessed with things that are at a very childish level.

Nice.

Now, have Joe Biden repeat that 3 times fastly.

Although they do have a couple of hot babes on their morning newscast. Mute the sound and it’s almost tolerable.
