McConnell literally distancing himself from the president

This is McConnell saying he won’t trust his own health and life in the hands of the president he’s done everything he can to keep in power.

MCCONNELL: “I haven’t actually been to the White House since August the 6th. Because my impression was that their approach to how to handle this is different from mine and what I suggested that we do in the Senate, which is to wear a mask and practice social distancing."

While not appearing to do anything or say anything in particular.
