1. But the christofascists over at the Hill are saying only Democrats get it. Racist dogwhistle

2. In the spirit, that trump sets with suing everyone.

Maybe they should be sued for spreading the virus.

3. Wonder why that is?

Do Democrats have superior gene's when it comes to combating the virus? Or could it be that they follow the recommendations of science, wear masks, and social distance?

Perhaps if Democrats had said early on "we aren't gonna follow science and wear masks", Trump would have taken the opposite approach and made mask wearing mandatory...

6. Rachel Maddow's partner?

"someone close to her" is what she said.

So: Checkmate, Libtards!

7. It wasn't Susan. Besides, she's not just Rachel's "partner"...she's Rachel's wife.

8. LOL, I had "Wife" in there

and 2nd-guessed myself.

[BComplex]

10. Now you can go for it!

9. Klobuchar's husband, too, IIRC

Not that one more example of a democrat getting it disproves your general point, of course. Democrats have taken this seriously in ways that republicans (especially those close to trump, dependent on him, or surgically attached to his posterior) have not.

And it's not only in the prevention/avoidance that we see this. When Klobuchar's husband recover, she didn't say we'd rounded the corner or discovered a cure or spread the message that getting it is no big deal.

11. There was a democratic congressman or senator that got it several months back, but I don't

remember who it was. Not someone we talk a lot about on DU.

12. Thanks! I've been waiting for this sort of post. When we're done, if someone ...

... hasn't already, I'll post a reply that consolidates all of them.

13. To add to the Democrat list? Chris Cuomo? nt

[Dirty Socialist]

14. Politicians only

Journalist list would be more balanced

15. A nice consolidated list. A real advertisement for the efficacy of masks and distancing!!!!

16. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms

I think there were a couple of congressmen early on also.

Not that is makes much difference, clearly the Republicans have dominated in getting it whereas they don't believe in following any protocols.
