Democrats launch investigation into Trump's Walter Reed 'joyride'

House Democrats are launching an investigation into President Trump’s treatment of the Secret Service during his bout with the coronavirus.

Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, accused Trump of disregarding the safety of his protective detail when he left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a short drive in his limousine to greet supporters who were outside the facility.

Thompson called Trump’s Sunday night trip a “joyride” that risked the health and safety of the agents who had to accompany him on the trip.

“So we can know more about how these events have affected the Secret Service and national security, I have requested a briefing from the agency on the current safeguards in place for their employees — including on the President’s protective detail — and how Secret Service agents can be kept safe from coronavirus-related threats, including apparently the President himself,” Thompson said in a statement.

Trump tweeted that the trip was deemed safe by medical staff at the hospital. An attending physician also accompanied Trump on the drive and wore a mask and other protective equipment.

Trump also wore a mask.

Trump announced on Twitter Monday afternoon that he will be discharged from the hospital and will return to the White House at 6:30 p.m.

These are some sorry a-holes.

They must be disappointed every morning when they see the sun has risen again. I cannot imagine going through life this way.

Bennie “Milkdud 2” Thompson (Race Grifter-Mississippi) took some time off from worrying about Guam tipping over to investigate Trump stepping on his lawn...

They're doing this because the Democrat/Communist/Left Party has nothing else to do. Their politically near-dead candidates are beyond recovery; they cannot stop the USSC justice nomination vote (unless McConnell lets them and he won't!); they're losing the culture war on all fronts (Communism just ain't selling; the riots have lost their momentum and are unacceptable to decent Americans); and their political machinations are costing them votes each and every minute of each and every day (the Russian hoax is dead and has become boring, except maybe for Biden's personal involvement; their voter fraud initiative is hurting more than it is helping them; TDS has become tiresome even to those who suffer from it; and the most politicized of all the Democrat/Communist/Left Party's strategy -- the Covid Cooties lockdowns, restrictions and mandates -- is weakening and is wearing thin with many more Americans with each passing day).

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of America/American haters by my calculations.

“By definition a Secret Service agent has agreed to step in front and TAKE A BULLET for POTUS.”

The problem with the analogy there is they’re not supposed to be dodging bullets *from* the POTUS. Hopefully the WH used SS that have already been exposed and made it through the infection in good shape.

The Democrats will launch an investigation into President Trump using the bathroom at Walter Reed tomorrow. Each time the do something like this, it makes me do something I couldn’t do: Despise the Democrats more. But I manage to do it.
