Several attendees at Republican club's viral holiday party test positive for COVID-19: report

At least three people who attended the Whitestone Republican Club’s indoor holiday party in Queens, Ny. that went viral have tested positive for COVID-19, The Queens Daily Eagle reports.

The report comes one week after footage from the party went viral, which showed maskless attendees joining a Conga line as the person in front holds a Trump 2020 flag. At one point, Vickie Paladino, a GOP candidate for New York City Council, leads the dance.

Among the attendees who tested positive was James Trent, chair of the Queens Village Republican Club. He told the news outlet that he started experiencing symptoms two days after the party.

Trent said he was admitted to the hospital, and was expected to be released Thursday. He did not directly answer when the Eagle asked whether he regretted attending the party.

“It was a wonderful time and a great party, but I’m not happy I got sick," he said.
