The Latest: Sen. Lindsey Graham goes into self-quarantine
Would that be the same Brazilian gummint official who dined with Rump, and yet Rump won't get tested himself?
>> The White House says U.S. President Trump has no plans to be tested for the new coronavirus or go into self-quarantine after attending the same events last weekend.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s communications director tested positive days after traveling with Bolsonaro to the meeting with Trump and senior aides in Florida. Bolsonaro is also awaiting test results. <<
Why yes, it would.
So what we know so far: Lindsey Graham self-quarantines. Ted Cruz self-quarantines. Various Congresscritters and staff have self-quarantined and tested. Congress is closed to the public. Justin Trudeau self-quarantined and tested. Matt Gaetz got exposed and flew on AF1 with Rump after, got tested, self-quarantined. Mark Meadows self-quarantined after exposure, but then broke it and walked into the West Wing yesterday. Bolsonaro tested after his aide came down positive, same aide Graham and Rump interacted with.
Of course test kits have been notoriously elusive, but what we're saying is the heads of state of Canada or Brazil can get tested, Congresscritters can get tested, but the President of the United States can't figure out where to get one. Then he wonders why the stock market plunges four thousand points.
