Two staffers who attended President Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday tested positive for coronavirus, Trump's campaign said Monday.
"After another round of testing for campaign staff in Tulsa, two additional members of the advance team tested positive for the coronavirus. These staff members attended the rally but were wearing masks during the entire event. Upon the positive tests, the campaign immediately activated established quarantine and contact tracing protocols," Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told CNN in a statement.
The two positive tests, first reported by CNBC, bring the total number of Trump advance team staffers in Tulsa who tested positive for coronavirus to eight.
Hours before Trump's Saturday rally, the campaign said that six staffers working on the rally tested positive for coronavirus.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/22/politics/two-staffers-coronavirus-trump-rally/index.htmlWhat I'd like to know is why Trumptard even bothers to test at all when he's publicly complained that more testing leads finding more cases and has claimed he slowed down national testing for just this reason
Shouldn't he lead by example and just stop testing everyone around him. Then he can claim that there are no more positive cases in the White House or at his rallies
That's how the Trumptard brain works.... right?
He said this just this morning.
Of course, like any Trumptard quote it contains multiple lies along with the moronic Trumptard conclusions
“If we did slow it down, we wouldn't show nearly as many cases,” Trump said in an interview with Scripps News.
Asked again if he had asked to slow testing down, he replied: “Frankly I think we're way ahead of ourselves if you want to know the truth. We've done too good a job, because every time we go out with 25 million tests, you're going to find more people so then they say ‘oh, we have more cases in the United States.’ The reason we have more cases [is] because we do more testing than any other country by far.”
