‘A tale of two chyrons’: CNN social distancing scolds who flipped over crowd at Trump’s acceptance speech suddenly silent as packed March on Washington begins

“There will be people who became infected as a result of that event last night, and there’ll be people who will spread it and possibly require hospitalization, may even die,” @drsanjaygupta says about the large crowd that wasn’t socially distanced for Trump’s RNC speech. pic.twitter.com/BIU3JBTV0W

Maybe if the Republican convention had been reframed it would get clearance from the doctor:

It was a peaceful protest against socialism and the destruction of America. It avoids protests, remember? https://t.co/SYk7ZwPO4m

With that in mind, there’s a “Commitment March” going on in Washington, DC, and tens of thousands are there:

And just like that, CNN’s social distancing scolds have decided to take a coffee break:

CNN has no problem with crowds being this close together. They'll say (and have said) people are wearing masks as if to say that means no one will get the coronavirus, and everything's fine. But they won't say schools or sporting venues can open! No, that's dangerous pic.twitter.com/XU9iAVLDAB

Covid is done. Open everything up. If they try to arrest you, show them this picture and tell them what they can do with jt.
