Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Thursday that he hasn't visited the White House in two months because of how it responded to the coronavirus.

Speaking in Kentucky, McConnell said that while he talks to President Trump frequently, he hasn't been to the White House in person since Aug. 6.

"Because my impression was their approach to how to handle this was different from mine and what I insisted we do in the Senate, which was to wear a mask and practice social distancing," McConnell told reporters.

At a second stop in Kentucky, McConnell added that he had avoided going to the White House because he "personally didn't feel that they were approaching the protection from this illness in the same way that I thought was appropriate for the Senate."

2. Cagey, but unless he instructed all the other GOP senators to do the same,

they’d still be at just as much risk. And there were several GOP senators at the Rose Garden Massacre.
