They\u2019re killing people.&#8221;<\/em> These are, Jordan claimed <em>&#8220;The things Democrats would say if this was President Trump\u2019s birthday party.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis is a dangerous super-spreader event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can someone be so reckless?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re killing people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-The things Democrats would say if this was President Trump\u2019s birthday party. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TREe5jKCpI\">https:\/\/t.co\/TREe5jKCpI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Rep.

To begin with, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/obama-plans-birthday-bash-amid-covid-concerns-26278329-43be-473d-bf16-80b025e03912.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a><\/strong> that Jordan provided in his attempted hate-tweet contradicted his criticisms. And you didn&#8217;t even have to click on it. Right below Jordan&#8217;s ranting it said that <em>&#8220;The party will be held outdoors, all guests are asked to be vaccinated and there will be a COVID-coordinator.&#8221;<\/em> If you did click on it, there were further details that revealed that <em>&#8220;Martha&#8217;s Vineyard does not qualify as an area of &#8216;substantially-high&#8217; risk, which was the target of the CDC recommendations.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So Obama&#8217;s party will not be a reckless, super-spreader event that would be killing anyone. It will be an appropriately managed affair that is in accordance with CDC guidelines, and that takes into consideration the well being of the guests. If this was Trump&#8217;s birthday party, the only thing that Democrats would be saying is how astonished they are by his uncharacteristically responsible behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Trump would never conduct himself with such concern and competence. In fact, he just announced another Super-Spreader Cult Rally later this month in Alabama, where masks, vaccinations, social distancing, etc., will be purposely ignored. Alabama <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/graphics.reuters.com\/HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS\/USA-TRENDS\/dgkvlgkrkpb\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">presently<\/a><\/strong> has among the lowest rates of vaccination and among highest increase in new cases. So expect it get even worse there, and in the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Fox News White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, broached the same subject at the White House daily press briefing. It&#8217;s almost as if these people have plotted out there talking points for the day in advance. However,, as usual, Doocy was gently humiliated by press secretary Jen Psaki, when he asked what he surely thought would be a devastating <em>&#8220;gotcha&#8221;<\/em> question:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Doocy:<\/strong> Is President Obama setting a wrong example about how serious COVID-19 is by hosting a big birthday party with hundreds of people this week?<br \/>\n<strong>Psaki:<\/strong> Well, I would certainly refer you to the team who is working for my former boss to give you more specifics of what the protocols are in place. But I would note first that former President Obama has been a huge advocate of individuals getting vaccinated. What CDC has provided guidance on is for indoor settings in high or substantial high zones of COVID cases. This event, according to all the public reporting, is outdoors and in a moderate zone. But in addition there is testing requirements and other steps they are taking which I am sure they can outline for you in more detail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Not satisfied, Doocy asked the exact same question two more times, while Psaki struggled to give him the same answer in different ways hoping that it would get through to him.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Peter Doocy attempts to own the libs <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Hd5FU3dkar\">pic.twitter.com\/Hd5FU3dkar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1422283363474415629?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>These pathetic attempts to turn a birthday celebration into a horror story only demonstrate how desperate Fox News and the Republicans are for anything to beat up on Democrats with.
