President Donald Trump holds his second super-spreader campaign event in Tuscan, Arizona. At a rally earlier today, Trump reiterated his message that people are ‘tired’ of hearing about the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
‘You turn on CNN. That’s all they cover: COVID, COVID, pandemic,’
Trump said to the mostly maskless crowd. ‘You know why? They’re trying to talk people out of voting. People aren’t buying it, CNN, you dumb bastards.’
He also said that Arizona is in ‘really in great shape,’ as the state has reported a 58% increase in new cases from the average just two weeks ago.
Before speaking to the Arizona crowds today, Trump also continued to attack Dr. Anthony Fauci, tweeting that he should make ‘better decisions’ and criticizing the pitch he threw out on baseball’s opening day.
Months ago, Trump announced that he was going to throw the first pitch at a Yankees game in August.
The announcement came as a surprise to both the White House and the Yankees, and the event never occurred.
