Washington, D.C. attendees to the Atlanta funeral of the late Rep. John Lewis are exempt from following the District of Columbia's strict quarantine rules after returning home from Georgia, the D.C. mayor's office says.

Lewis, a longtime member of Congress and one of the major figures of the American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, died on July 17 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. After lying in state at the United States Capitol, his body was returned to Atlanta for a funeral at that city's historic Ebenezer Baptist Church.

It’s in the Constitution. Congresspeople may not be detained from going to DC.

Article I, SECTION 6

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

John Lewis’s body was on tour for 13 days, so he served their 14 day quarantine for them.

So true and exposes the hypocrisy of it all. The symbol of their new America is a boot crushing the rest of us into the mud.

I remember reading somewhere that CV-19 wasn't contagious if you are at a democrat funeral.

You get the same kind of immunity that you get protesting I guess.

it’s all lies.

FakeNewsMSM worldwide is reporting that there were only 17,000-20,000 at the “End the Pandemic - Freedom Day” or “Tag der Freiheit” protest in Berlin, Germany on Saturday. people kept commenting on youtubes that it was 1.3 million.

nearly 6 hours. cameras scan the crowd 360 degrees - people as far as the eyes can see:

Youtube: 01.08.2020 Berlin - Tag der Freiheit Live - 1,3 Millionen Menschen UNGLAUBLICH
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htDrDieOgh0

a number of people commenting are furious the FakeNewsMSM is lying about the numbers, e.g. translating from German to English:

from the comments under the 5 hour-plus video:

Do not forget: Tomorrow among all mainstream videos, posts, tweets, articles, on all platforms spread the true number. 800,000-1,500,000 protesters, not 10,000 or 20,000!
The scribes are really annoying!

1 Aug: TV6: Thousands of protests were held in Berlin against epidemiological restrictions
German police have disbanded Saturday’s protest against restrictions imposed in Berlin on the coronavirus epidemic, the MTI writes. Police justified the action on the grounds that the organizers of the demonstration did not ensure compliance with health regulations.

Authorities say a crowd of 20,000 marched through the city center to the Brandenburg Gate, ***but organizers estimate that 1.3 million protesters took part in the movement...

How many were in that church? I am assuming that the DC swamprats all flew in on one private plane.

It is a magical virus for sure.

Yep....funerals for the oligarchs, but not for you and me.

This whole shamDEMic is SO obvious.

I wish Trump would kick the door down, entering his next CCP-Virus briefing, and call out everyone in on this....from CCP, to Dems, to FRAUDchi, WHO...CDC...on down.

I hope this gets tweeted to Trump’s Twitter feed.

And note to Tucker Carlson: You should have a field day with this.

Rioters are immune too.
Portland is a myth.
Austin has been importing the anti-FAgs all weekend.

The Animal Farm should be required reading and viewing for public elementary school kids.
My kids saw the cartoon when they were young.
They still bring it up when they see sh!t like this.

“....All animals are equal at the Animal Farm. But some animals are more equal than others....”

All animals are equal at the Animal Farm. But some animals are allowed to take HCQ as a preventative while others are not.

Truth be known; the DS/RATS probably have been on HCQ as a preventative since a week before their planned/CCP colluded virus release date.
