The list of Democrats — both politicians and staffers — testing positive for COVID19 after Democratic Texas state reps took a maskless joyride on a private jet keeps getting longer.

Texas Democrat visit to D.C. seems to be going well.

Swimmingly! Even more swimmingly than we realized, it seems:
Psaki clarifies to @edokeefe there have been other breakthrough COVID-19 cases in the White House that have not been publicly disclosed.
— Kathryn Watson (@kathrynw5) July 20, 2021
Press sec. Jen Psaki confirms a fully vaccinated White House official tested positive for COVID-19 off campus: "We know that there will be breakthrough cases, but as this instance shows, cases in vaccinated individuals are typically mild.” https://t.co/xK19f0JJTN pic.twitter.com/BOldWqrcWY

O'Keefe: "You confirmed today there's been a breakthrough case."
Psaki: "Yep."
O'Keefe: "But you're also confirming there have been other breakthrough cases?"
Psaki: "Yep."
O'Keefe: "But you had not previously disclosed that there had been?"
Psaki: "And — that's correct."— Kathryn Watson (@kathrynw5) July 20, 2021

Well, this raises an important question, one that Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki at today’s White House press briefing:
Doocey asks if the Texas Dem trip "is now a super-spreader event in Washington?"@PressSec: "Well, I would say that's not a characterization we're making from here."
— Philip Melanchthon Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) July 20, 2021
Why would you say that, Jen? Let’s give her a chance to explain:

Jen Psaki refuses to call the TX Dems “superspreaders”, instead thanks them for coming

Amazing.
Okay follow up – what does Jen Psaki consider to be a super spreader event? https://t.co/e4ofHXQa1h
— Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) July 20, 2021
Yes, what makes the case of the Texas Democrats so (D)ifferent from other superspreader events?
They won’t characterize it that way because it wasn’t a Trump rally.
— A Simple Daisy (@asimpledaisy) July 20, 2021
If it was Trump, she would say it's a super spreader event.
— Christina 🇺🇲 (@Crmco719) July 20, 2021
“of course not. super-spreader events only happen when Republicans are involved,” Psaki continued.

Ding, ding, ding!
Cat got her tongue?

Does a cat have Twitter’s tongue, too?
I believe this is now misinformation. Twitter, that’s your cue! https://t.co/o0yP9Iya8K
— Emily Zanotti (@emzanotti) July 20, 2021
It certainly sounds like misinformation:
From @CDCgov website: "For severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), an R0 of 2–3 with 6–8 secondary cases has been suggested to constitute a superspreading event (3)."https://t.co/aq7Qihfn2i pic.twitter.com/6p3JbT5fEi

So Jen Psaki is spreading misinformation and needs to have her social media accounts revoked immediately. She could be killing people. https://t.co/Ick3vA4mWj

White House press briefings are misinformation superspreader events.
