Works for me. All of the Trump regime lickspittles gather indoors, maskless, with no social distancing. They share food, drink, and hug and touch each other. Let them all get COVID. I just don’t care if these scum live or die.

He won’t go. Mitch cancelled in person lunches for the Senate. He’s not a fool, Mitch.
