Nancy Pelosi has tested positive for COVID one day after joining Joe Biden at the White House for a bill signing yesterday:
THE SUN – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tested positive for Covid-19 only a day after she visited President Joe Biden in the White House to sign a bill.
A maskless Pelosi, 82, and several other senators and congress members joined Biden on Wednesday for the signing of the Postal Reform bill.
Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, Drew Hammill, said the house speaker is asymptomatic and is fully vaccinated and boosted.
“After testing negative this week, Speaker Pelosi received a positive test result for COVID-19 and is currently asymptomatic,” Hammill tweeted.
“The Speaker is fully vaccinated and boosted, and is thankful for the robust protection the vaccine has provided.”
The Sun reports that Biden tested negative earlier this week, but it sounds like he needs another test given that Pelosi also tested negative earlier this week.
They also report that reporters who heard the news were trying to get the heck out of Dodge:
A live C-SPAN camera captured the moment members of the press learned of Pelosi’s positive test while waiting for her at her weekly press conference.
“Pelosi tested positive,” a reporter is heard saying.
Another replies: “Are you s****ing me.”
“This is why we wear masks,” responds another reporter.
“Is she in the building?” asked a reporter in the press room.
“Okay, so we don’t need to be here anymore,” another journalist says, “this might be the worst place,” responds someone else.
It’s hilarious that they still believe that masks protect them from getting COVID.
I remember early on in 2020 when the CDC started telling people to wear masks, they made clear masks don’t protect you from COVID particles in the air but rather they might offer some protection for everyone around you.
They were never meant to protect you, but these ‘reporters’ for some reason still believe this falsehood. Thanks Dr. Fauci.
In any event I am glad Pelosi doesn’t have symptoms, but it does sound like the White House might be spreading COVID.
Better send Biden back to his basement for his own protection.
