Members of the mainstream media implied that President Donald Trump blamed Gold Star families for catching the coronavirus, after he mentioned an event with them during an interview on Thursday.
Trump mentioned that he met with Gold Star families at an event recently and did not want to enforce social distancing with them despite the risk of COVID. But some in the media interpreted that as Trump blaming the families for catching COVID.
During the interview on Fox News Business, host Maria Bartiromo asked the president, “How is it possible that you did contract the coronavirus?”
Trump noted the September 26 White House Rose Garden ceremony to announce the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
He said, “Now, as far as the White House is concerned, somebody got in. There was a day of celebration with Notre Dame, et cetera, et cetera. Somebody got in and people got affected. Whether it was there or something else.”
Bartiromo then asked a different question about what his recovery was like. “Tell me how you felt, what you went through. It’s amazing to me that you’re back in such strong form right now. How did that happen?” she asked.
Trump discussed his recovery and how he felt he had to put himself at risk as the president, and could not just quarantine in a basement like his opponent:
If I wanted to hang out in a basement, I wouldn’t catch it. But I meet a lot of people and I have to. I’m the president of the country. I can’t hang around in a basement.

Of course. They can say anything and their compadres in the Marxist Main Stream Media swear to it and broadcast it to the functionally illiterate of their party.
He should have said he caught it from Biden at the debate. Biden is the one pulling down his mask as of late coughing on camera. Biden has it and is spreading it.
Yeah SOMEBODY got in all right with a sanitizer spray bottle!!
They are going all out now with every tidbit of selected words from any statement.
Last night I caught my local news running the Trump said our solders were suckers ad. I wanted to punch the TV especially they now have a group that edits things not verified. Only works one way of course. It is a Graham media company that refuses to ever name the race of a perp.
