Can we please talk about the GOPs utter disregard for public health and the well-being of others? We have known it was an issue, but how there is hard data and personal statements. Sen Rick Johnson (R-WI) who was tested positive on Friday and went ahead with attending an Oktoberfest fundraiser maskless and no distancing. He stated, “I’m not sick, I have no symptoms, I certainly didn’t anticipate testing positive, so there was no reason to quarantine.”

And the three Minnesota congressman (R) whom flew home Friday night from DC on Delta despite their known exposure. And William Barr and Mark Meadows refusing to quarantine and walking around the White House maskless. And VP Pence continue to travel all week when he should be in quarantine. These are public officials whom we elected and work for us. When are they held accountable for gross negligence and threatening public health? I know the list of people who won’t do anything, but who will? For all the staff in the WH, Congress, hotels, airlines, the SS, military, etc. Is it OSHA at this point?

I feel like Melania’s jacket from long ago was not just a personal statement, but maybe the new uniform of the GOP. They have no conscience! The fury of America right now is coming from all of us living in isolation for 7 months, millions sick, thousands dying, livelihoods lost while they STILL think public health is a joke.

What has amazed me all along and what continues to amaze me is how much support Trump does still have. I can't understand how any thinking person could possibly believe America is in good hands with Trump in the White House. America needs a therapist.
