Wed Jul 29, 2020, 11:06 AM

He was diagnosed in the screening ...

Gohmert was scheduled to fly to Texas on Wednesday morning with President Donald Trump and tested positive in a pre-screen at the White House. The eighth-term Republican told CNN last month that he was not wearing a mask because he was being tested regularly for the coronavirus.


Otherwise, he'd have been all up in the plane breathing on people, including non-political career staff who have no choice but to be there around these awful, irresponsible people.

"I don't have the coronavirus, turns out as of yesterday I've never had it. But if I get it, you'll never see me without a mask," the conservative Texan told CNN Friday.

Told that health experts say that people who don't have symptoms may be carrying the virus and can unknowingly spread it to others, Gohmert responded: "But I keep being tested and I don't have it. So I'm not afraid of you, but if I get it I'll wear a mask."

It's not that some pop-in-jay, yokel vaudeville reject has the virus. You may know him as the congresscreature who bragged about not wearing a mask. Not that he may have infected an entire congressional committee from sheer orneriness. Not that he could have infected the whole executive branch (it hurts to frame it that way when I truly feel everything would be better if the whole bunch were intubated for the next 96-7300 days in federal prison).

Nope, the outrage is that he was able to get results effectively "as he entered" the white house while literally MILLIONS of Americans must wait days, weeks or multiples of weeks to get results even when they are ALREADY sick.

While the general public has to wait a week to get results (which makes contact tracing difficult and spread so much worse), they get their results in 5 minutes.

Talking with my doctor today he said trump and the admin are misleading and damaging the society at large due to their handling of the pandemic. It was good to hear from my doctor.

He refused to mask up so now he should not be allowed to put our healthcare hero's at risk. He should stay at home and use only tele medi for his treatment. No healthcare worker should go anywhere near him. NO VENT for this fool.

My wife is a nurse. Why should she be put at risk because of stupid fools.
This really burns my ass. She is out doing covid testing right now. An extra shift I might add. I keep telling her she should quit because of the fools who do not care about her. She is 63 and needs to get out.
Not winning that argument. Her heart is way bigger than mine.
