The spate of coronavirus cases linked to the White House has D.C. Council members steaming about Republicans who refused to wear masks or avoid crowds. Highlighting responses in this thread washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
.@brookeforward2: “It is disappointing that the White House has flaunted not wearing masks and gathering large crowds...That is not only dangerous messaging for the country, but it is directly threatening to our efforts to decrease our spread across the District.”
.@RobertWhite_DC: “It’s infuriating how little regard Trump and many in his administration have for D.C. residents who feed, transport and protect them...Our residents don’t have helicopters to transport them and medical teams to treat them if they contract covid-19.”
.@charlesallen: “The ripple effects of the virus’s spread will move through the staff and support of the White House...Their names won’t make the headlines and they likely won’t have the same type of round-the-clock healthcare as those who created the risk in the first place.”
And @tweetelissa with the fewest words: “Irresponsible and selfish.”
