Trump cancels "voter fraud" hearing after advisor tests positive

President Donald Trump canceled a scheduled trip to Pennsylvania on Wednesday to attend a Republican-organized hearing about purported voter fraud after a campaign adviser tested positive for coronavirus, press pool reports said.

Trump was expected to travel to a hotel in Gettysburg to address the event amid his campaign's ongoing effort to overturn the 2020 election results, Axios and CNN reported. However, on Wednesday morning, Bloomberg News reported that Trump's adviser, Boris Epshteyn, had tested positive for COVID-19.

Epshteyn did not attend the Gettysburg event, but he was in contact with Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, last week at a news conference at the Republican National Convention. Giuliani was also separately exposed to the virus after his son, Andrew, tested positive. The former New York mayor attended Wednesday's event at Gettysburg and was seen speaking indoors without a mask in a tightly-packed room.

If Trump had attended the Gettysburg event, it would have been his first trip outside the Washington, DC, area since losing the general election. Sources told Axios and CNN that Trump was initially expected to join Giuliani at the Wyndham hotel and meet with the state's Republican-led Senate Majority Policy Committee to discuss alleged "election issues and irregularities."

Death cult.

1. I don't buy it.

He already had Covid and he never has given a shit about anyone but himself and Princess so why would someone else testing positive matter to him. There was another reason.

2. You can get it twice

Worse second time

8. From what I've read there are

only 2 cases of a repeat infection, when the person had a mild case the first time. Trump's case was not mild.

Other suspected second cases have not been verified. They might have been repeat cases, or the infected person might have felt better but relapsed. Or they might have had flu one time and covid another. To verify a double case, they have to have been tested both times and have the viral RNA sequenced.

I don't think Trump worries about getting it again from the way he appears in public without a mask or distancing. He brags that he is immune now

6. Exactly what I was thinking,

almost word for word.

3. The infected Republican strongly opposed efforts to limit covid spreading

He opposed efforts of the Dem governor to limit the spread of the disease. Something like 80% of those testing positive in congress are republicans.

4. Just counting' the days til he's GONE!

And good riddance! Since it’s now after midnight on the 30th, that means it’s now 51 days til POTUS Joe!

5. I hope he's afraid, if he leaves, we'll change the locks. nt

7. Only cares about himself not being infected with the virus, again.

Can’t wait til this despicable man is gone.
