Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) lashed out at presidential scion Donald Trump Jr. for claiming Democrats seemingly want the coronavirus to kill millions of people so they can end President Donald Trumps streak of winning, threatening a serious altercation on Friday morning if the first son got near him.

He should not be near me when he says that, the congressman seethed.
