Snip....
Minnesota health officials said Monday that they have connected more than two dozen coronavirus cases to Trump and Biden campaign events in the state.
Sixteen cases have been tied to a Bemidji outdoor airport rally the president hosted Sept. 18, according to state health officials. Of these, four were reported by protesters at the event, according to state infectious disease director Kris Ehresmann. Ehresmann added that not all of the cases were necessarily contracted at the event.
Officials said three more cases involved people who attended a Sept. 30 Duluth Trump rally, as well as another three tied to attendees of a Sept. 24 Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport event where Vice President Pence appeared.

The president is an egotistical, narcissistic shaman who promises his adoring worshipers that he will right all wrongs.

Apparently, Rethugs now consider it a badge of honor to contract COVID-19 at a Trump campaign event.

I think they're still counting the sickness and death cost of that early rally in Tulsa.
Just like their tax legislation from several administrations, there's nothing Republicans love more than lying about a meansure they've taken and then hiding from the long-term consequences. Their minions fall for it every time.
