AL-SEN: Tuberville breaks DC self-quarantine policy to campaign

Alabama Republican Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville appears to have broken the D.C. policy requiring visitors from states with high coronavirus cases to self-quarantine for 14 days.

Tuberville defied the District’s requirement during a fundraising trip in D.C. this week, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

The Post cited a photo Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.) posted to Facebook on Tuesday of the two men, neither in masks, in the lobby of the Trump International Hotel.

Alexandra Kendrick, president of High Cotton Consulting, a D.C- based fundraising operation, also offered in-person meetings with Tuberville while he was in D.C. from early afternoon Tuesday through Thursday, the Post reported. She reportedly emailed contacts shortly after Tuberville’s win earlier this month when he defeated former Trump administration Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a GOP run-off.

“We are accepting in-person meetings during that time frame. Let me know if you and your group are interested in sitting down with the NEXT Senator from Alabama. Just let me know and we will put you on the schedule,” Kendrick wrote, the Post reported citing a copy of the email.
