Won't mention it about protests and riots, but will bring it up to pour water on the VP fist bumping an American hero. https://t.co/clR72lGXYv

I'm not surprised you went with the "social distancing" shot. I am a little surprised you decided to go with the fist bump to a disabled veteran. pic.twitter.com/FQnP5l7lSF

Someone needs to alert the protestors and rioters.

Haven’t seen you post a snarky tweet about social distancing during the nightly riots across the nation.

The media won’t obsess over social distancing when it comes to mass protests and riots, for some reason.
