Trump faces heat for drawing Gold Star families into COVID-19 drama
Congressional Democrats condemned President Trump on Thursday after he suggested that he contracted COVID-19 from Gold Star family members.
“Sometimes, I’d be in groups of, for instance, Gold Star families,” Trump said in an interview on Fox Business. “I met with Gold Star families. I didn’t want to cancel that … They come within an inch of my face, sometimes.”
That drew a sharp response from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “It is a very important question for our country because now, the president is saying that he probably got this from the Gold Star families. Can you believe that he would say such a thing?"
Sen. Jack Reed, a Democrat from Rhode Island and ranking minority member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, was even tougher. "Whether he intended it or not, the president has blamed an event with families who lost their loved ones in battle for giving him COVID. That is a shocking statement even for this president," he said. "He must immediately apologize. Failure to do so would be yet another example of his callous disregard and disrespect for the women and men of our armed forces who we ask to stand in harm’s way."

If he said he contractedit from a golden shower he might be more credible.
