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.

It was hilarious - I heard Trump mention everyone looked closer together. Then he spoke for an hour and NO questions - like Lucy, Charlie Brown, and the football !!!

Lady Grahamnesty, eh?

I don’t care who does what with who, as far as that goes. But if it leads to implied blackmail, as it frequently does, this makes Graham an in-the-closet RINO, controlled by the threat of exposure.

They could have moved their d@mn chair six feet (not 5’ 11 7/8”) apart.

What’s so magical about 6 feet?

Where’s the data?

I see the influence of his outstanding new press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

Folding chair. So difficult to move.

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.

I just have a Glock. I am starting to think I need an AR15 and a shotgun. /font>

I didn’t watch the president’s press conference today, but I would’ve loved seeing their faces when he walked away without taking questions.

These idiots were in the protests and had no problem skipping the social distancing.

SUNSPOTS or a lack thereof... is all you need know. Radiomen understand sun, radiation, radiofrequency, etc.

What the heck is a homo doing in a key gatekeeper position in the RNC? My sister is also gender challenged and psychotic, angry and shill. Now I understood Linds....

OMG....if true.

anti-social distancing props

I am surprised the press didn't also use the latest term:

"COVID Deniers"

[metmom]

Unreal.....

[Freee-dame]

It sounded like all the WHPC members shouted questions at the President as he and the other presenters departed. Usually a few shout questions. This time it was all, or nearly all. They were not interested in the good news about the economy.

Get the 556 type and not the 223 one.

Each one will shoot both types of ammo, but the 556 is built a built stronger.
