IF we had effective contact tracing (pretty much impossible given the scale of the infection in the US) - then everyone of these maskless partiers should be held accountable for everyone else they sicken, especially those who die.
WHY IS THIS NOT CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE?
In ME, the wedding party flouted state rules.
The bar where the reception was held flouted state rules.
In FL, the Governor insists no rules are needed. Tampa Mayor Jane Castor promised: We are making sure this is a safe event for everyone."
Yeah, right. #SuperSpreaderBowl
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor tried to close bars last year to stop the spread of COVID-19. Santos basically said hell no.
She "signed an executive order mandating the use of face coverings outdoors in areas downtown and near the stadium designated for events tied to the Super Bowl."
"Super Bowl week, the city will enforce its face mask ordinance inside bars." 😂
This chapel isn’t really “the geographic center” of the continental US, despite getting that label in 1918. It appears, as a @TripAdvisor review states, ‘conservative’.
Important scorecard:
13 GOP Senators voted against Mayor Pete’s confirmation. Look at their states to understand the vote had not a damn thing to do with qualifications.
AL, Richard Shelby, Tommy Tuberville
AR, Tom Cotton
FL, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott
KS, Roger Marshall
You do not have to repeat Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) claims in order to write about yet another preposterous attempt to overthrown election results. Over. And. Over. nytimes.com/2020/12/13/us/…
The most IMPORTANT part of this story -- historical context -- is buried: Nixon and Gore's behavior as VPs.
Also, this is BS. It doesn't "darken" Biden. It darkens the GOP.
"If even one Republican senator backed the effort, it could ensure that the partisan cloud hanging over the election would darken Mr. Biden’s presidency for years to come"
