In response to Mark Meadows refusing to take questions in the Capitol after a reporter requested he continued to wear a mask, Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room Director Zac Petkanas released the following statement:
“If you need more proof of the fact that the Trump White House is not taking the coronavirus seriously, look no further than White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ dangerous behavior in the halls of Capitol Hill today.
“Less than two weeks after his boss was hospitalized with a deadly virus and he himself was exposed, Meadows doesn’t have the human decency to follow CDC guidelines by wearing a mask when in the presence of others – especially while inside!
“It’s a perfect metaphor for how much contempt this White House has for the health and safety of others and why they’ve failed to stop a virus from killing nearly 215,000 Americans.”
