‘Gee That’s Too Bad’– Trump Reacts to News That Mitt Romney Isolated for Possible Coronavirus
Breitbart ^ | 22 Mar 2020 | Charlie Spiering

President Donald Trump reacted to the news on Sunday that Sen. Mitt Romney was currently isolated after spending time with Sen. Rand Paul who tested positive for the virus.

“Romney’s in isolation?” Trump asked. “Gee, that’s too bad.”

When the reporter asked if the president was using a sarcastic tone, the president replied, “None whatsoever.”

Romney’s office said Sunday the senator would self-quarantine after learning that Sen. Rand Paul had tested positive for the virus, noting that he had spent time with Paul and that the attending physician ordered him not to vote on the Senate floor.

Immediately following the press conference, CNN ran with a “Trump mocks Romney” narrative. That apparently was all the “news” they were looking for despite the President’s immediate and firm (and quite sincere) denial to the follow up “sarcastic tone” question.

The same CNN that called Romney “Hitler” in 2012.

NOTHING would surprise me. They’re godless and evil.
Their day is coming eventually.

Another gotcha question attempt.

I was watching when he said that and I would be hard pressed to say he didn't say it with a little sarcasm, but immediately denied it was sarcastic. It was cool the way he said it and immediately backed out of it.

No, we don’t.

Recess the Senate.

Let the recess appointments begin.
Even if Buzzy Ginsberg dies.

They should have remote voting most of the year anyway. Let these politicians stay in their home state and vote there.

It would be a really bad thing if Pelosi and Schumer tested positive, wouldn’t it?

They will immediately have access to the drugs you can only dream about.

Unless he is on a regimen of hydroxychloroquine, which would be the responsible course of action for the leader of the free world.

In that case he won’t be coming down with the escaped Chinese bioweapon.

That would be my guess, too. Or they are on “sonething.” Heck, I am not sure I even believe Romney is really in isolation as he is usually such a prick when it cones to voting for issues the President wants.

Mitt knows, and we all know, he has nothing to worry about.
His Magic Underwear makes him invincible.
He just wants a little sympathy.

Trump needs to be above this kind of thing. He’s got good poll numbers. This won’t help him.

Of course. He SAID the exact right thing.

I love this President (I was slow to warm to him). No other person would I want to lead us in these times. As soon as he believes the experts have led us astray, he will back out of all these controls quickly and smoothly.

What bothers me most is that Rand Paul let himself sit next to this traitorous POS in the first place.

Hope Rand recovers with no issues. Don’t care about mittens.
