If 100,000 people show up and just one of those 100,000 test positive for the virus a few days later, news media will go 24/7 for days on how Trump put politics above the health of his supporters. They are salivating over this prospect.

But so what?

No matter what Trump does, the MSM will find a way to crucify him. It is the responsibility of good Americans to tune that MSM noise out once and for all.

It's time we stopped being slaves of the mainstream media.

another disgraceful “journo”:

13 Jun: Yahoo: Fauci ‘concerned’ that George Floyd protests could lead to coronavirus spike, but has no comment on Trump rallies
by Alexander Nazaryan, National Correspondent, Yahoo News
“You know, I’m concerned. I am,” Dr. Anthony Fauci told Yahoo News about the protests in a conversation that ranged from the 1918 influenza pandemic to the 79-year-old immunologist’s famous running habit...

A question about Trump’s campaign rallies brought out the latter quality.
“I don’t really want to comment on that,” he said. “It’s not productive.” The reticence seems rooted in the recognition that Trump would likely take any warning about rallies as a slight. Some of the president’s more conspiratorial supporters have long pushed him to dismiss Fauci, manufacturing stories about how the revered immunologist is actually a Democratic plant.
Staying in Trump’s good graces may mean having to stay silent on issues like the upcoming rallies, even though the president’s supporters skew older and, like the president himself, may be reluctant to wear face masks in public. Packing those supporters into an arena could be a public health disaster, as Fauci doubtlessly knows...

What he won’t tolerate, however, are assertions that the coronavirus is not as serious as public health officials have made it out to be. That argument has been proffered by coronavirus skeptics like Alex Berenson, the former New York Times journalist whose embittered Twitter diatribes against lockdown measures have earned him frequent appearances on Fox News.
“How can you characterize it as anything other than denialism?” Fauci wondered of those who doubt the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed 423,000 people worldwide and is the worst viral outbreak since the 1918 influenza.
“To say that this is not a serious situation is just not facing reality,” said Fauci, a veteran not only of the HIV/AIDS fight but also of the battles against Ebola, Zika and other infectious diseases...

It is difficult not to take that as a rebuke of Trump, who repeatedly claimed in the early stages of the pandemic that the virus would “go away.” So far, it has done no such thing.
But just moments later, Fauci evinced an optimism similar to Trump’s...
