White House turns press corps into anti-social distancing props

Members of the White House press corps became the latest political prop in President Donald Trump's quest to reopen the country on Friday.

The White House Correspondents Association said the administration's conduct "violated the federal government's guidelines on social distancing and needlessly put reporters' health at risk." The White House set up press seats for a Friday event in the Rose Garden, which was billed as a news conference, though Trump ended up taking no questions from reporters. The folding chairs were originally placed six feet apart, just like they have been since April, in accordance with social distancing guidelines.

He was protesting systemic racial injustice. Their objections are racist.

Hey, CNN?
Why do you constantly turn dead victims of criminal firearm use into anti second amendment props?

Well it didn’t work, these riots and the police kneeling to the rioters have convinced me I need a matching pair of AR15’s one for me and one for the wife.

The reason Trump did not take any questions was because they disrespected his position as president by yelling questions while he was trying to sign a Bill. He put his hand up to quiet them and they continued to shout. When he was done, he walked out.

The WH Press Corp violated the social distancing guidelines, not the WH.

The reporters were free to leave the area if they didn’t think others were staying six feet apart.

Go TRUMP!

It has been suspected that he’s compromised, much like Justice Roberts.
Talks a big game, gets nothing accomplished due to risk of exposure.
Thanks for nothing, Linda.

the entire FakeNewsMSM is exploding with the same story.

White House forces reporters to ditch social distancing
ABC News-4 hours ago

White House reporters had their seats moved closer together ...
International-Business Insider-5 hours ago

White House is accused of risking reporters’ health by ...
In-Depth-Daily Mail-4 hours ago

WH ignored social distancing at event because ‘it looked ...
International-Politico-5 hours ago

the same FakeNewsMSM that has had no problem joining with thousands of rioters - including covid-vulnerable black Americans (according to the covid narrative) - as they take over the streets nightly!

question to FakeNewsMSM: why did you sit in each seat, when you could have sat in one of ever three seats, or simply stood at a distance? jokers.

how utterly brilliant The President took no questions.

If he’s exposed, he’s free from blackmail and can do the right thing. It’s unjust what has been done to President Trump and The People.
