The guy behind Mitch McConnell tested positive? Correction: Not McConnell.

McConnell is in the left, front row. Look who is behind him. Is that Sen. Mike Lee?

2. Mike Lee is

the one on the aisle and Thom Tillis is the one in the middle.

3. Thanks. The image is so small.

[BGBD]

6. No difference...

Tillis is positive now too and Lee is sitting there breathing down the Vice President neck.

I doubt that matters though because I doubt those guys were contagious that day. I think there is somebody else in that crowd that we don't know who spread this around to everyone that is testing positive now.

One theory I saw was that ACBs children might have been carrying the virus asymptomatically, stemming from her infection in the late summer. Certainly possible, but just as likely it's one of the adult attendees.

Either way, it's not their fault. Trump put that event together and demanded that they not take precautions because he didn't like the optics.

4. Are you sure that's McConnell in the front row? I saw a picture earlier and it was all white house

insiders in that row, except the two women at the outside edge. I can't seem to find that picture now, though.

Mike Lee is on the inside edge, right behind Mike Pence.

7. The bigger image on www.huffpo.com's main page looks like it's him. To his left is Barr.

8. I found the image I was looking for

The Senators are seated in the second and third rows, but I don't see Mitch there.

13. Thanks for the clarification.

[ShazzieB]

16. Are you saying Mitch is next to Barr?

Doesn't look like McConnell to me.

[ShazzieB]

15. I don't see McConnell there, either.

I zoomed in as much as I could. I see Pence on the aisle and Bill Barr with 2 other men, neither of whom look like Mitch to me.

[IcyPeas]

5. I don't think that is McConnell. /nt

9. Don't see McConnell there at all- Mark Meadows, Barr and Pence are in front row

[Midnight Writer]

10. It's like God sent an Angel to pass among them a penance.

Brushing them with Covid laced breath.

14. I'm wondering about Franklin Graham seated next to Notre Dame President who is positive

[madaboutharry]

11. That looks like Pence with Karen next to him.

[A Brand New World]

12. I think that is Mark Meadows, COS.

Cannot believe he won’t eventually test positive.

[wishstar]

17. He was exposed at a spring Repub get together and quarantined back then

so it's possible he already had it without symptoms and even testing negative and is now immune. Reportedly the test used the most for WH staff has 30% false negative results.
