New: Trump holding event at WH Saturday with Blexit (urging Black Americans to leave the Democrats)

Trump planning to host 1st in-person event since diagnosis at White House on Saturday

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-planning-host-1st-person-event-diagnosis-white/story?id=73512644

President Donald Trump is scheduled to host his first in-person event since testing positive for the coronavirus on Saturday at the White House discussing "law and order," despite evidence of a growing coronavirus outbreak at the White House this week.

The event will feature "remarks to peaceful protesters for law and order" by the president, according to an invite obtained by ABC News and confirmed by two White House sources familiar with the planning.

The gathering is scheduled to take place on the South Lawn of the White House in conjunction with a previously planned event organized by controversial conservative activist Candace Owens' group Blexit, a campaign to urge Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party, sources said.

With just days separating the president from his stay at Walter Reed Medical Center, experts fear this type of event threatens to exacerbate the crisis already engulfing the White House and further spread the disease. On Wednesday, ABC News reported that the coronavirus outbreak had infected "34 White House staffers and other contacts" in recent days, citing an internal government memo.

That's my very black response to that bs. Just checked on my ballot and it has been counted today. +2 in my household for Biden and the Dems in FL.
