Anyone else catch that Trump blamed soldiers and law enforcement for infecting his staff?
Trump, Who Claimed Masks Are for Suckers, Blames the Military and Law Enforcement for Hope Hicks Getting COVID-19
Speaking to Sean Hannity on Thursday night after the news broke that Hicks had tested positive but before he and the first lady had gotten their results, Trump told the Fox News host, “You know, it’s very hard, when you’re with soldiers, when you’re with airmen, when you’re with Marines, and I’m with—and the police officers. I’m with them so much. And when they come over here, it’s very hard to say, stay back, stay back. It’s a tough kind of a situation.”
Mentioning his own test, Trump said, “We’ll see what happens. I mean, who knows? But you know Hope very well. She’s fantastic. And she’s done a great job.” Then he circled back to the alleged perpetrators. “But it’s very, very hard when you are with people from the military or from law enforcement, and they come over to you, and they want to hug you, and they want to kiss you, because we really have done a good job for them. And you get close, and things happen.”
