At least four people who attended the first day of the Republican National Convention in Charlotte have tested positive for COVID-19. Last night, Trump delivered a very Klan rally-esque speech to accept the Republican nomination for the 2020 presidential race and we’ve rounded up the only responses you need to see inside….
The Coronavirus has invaded the Republican National Convention just like it did at Trump’s Tulsa rally back in June. It was revealed that six staffers on the Trump campaign tested positive for the coronavirus after attending the Tulsa rally. Weeks after the rally, COVID-19 cases in Oklahoma also surged.
Now, it’s happening again.
Two attendees and two staffers working at the RNC in Charlotte tested positive for the Coronavirus, according to local health officials. Day 1 of the RNC kicked off Monday in Charlotte with hundreds of delegates in attendance.
Mecklenburg County leaders say those who tested positive at the event were immediately isolated.

62 County residents at higher education institutions outside the County have tested positive for COVID-19.

According to the Charlotte Observer, around 792 Coronavirus tests were administered to attendees and people providing support to the RNC in Charlotte.
“Of these, 2 attendees and 2 individuals supporting the event tested positive for COVID-19. These individuals were immediately issued isolation instructions and any known close contacts were notified and issued quarantine instructions by Mecklenburg County Public Health (MCPH),” County leaders said.
Hardly anyone attending the event had on a mask and they were packed like sardines on the White House lawn. Approximately 1,800 people were in attendance.
It’s reported there are 24,952 cases of COVID-19 and 290 virus-related deaths have been reported in Mecklenburg County as of Thursday evening.

We’re sure Trump will lie and say it’s “fake news”, much like the lies he spewed last night during the last night of the RNC, which was held outside on the South Lawn of the White House. Get this, it’s against the law to have a partisan political event – like the RNC – at any federal building like the White House, which is why no other president has ever done this. Yet, he did it anyway.
President Barack Obama’s former chief official White House photographer Pete Souza made note of Trump’s unethical and illegal event. Check it:
Journalists were also shocked the White House would host such an openly political event:
.@jonkarl: “I’m practically speechless, here. I have been covering the White House on and off for two decades … Here we have the entire South Lawn of the White House transformed into the hall, the venue, for a national political convention.” https://t.co/Y3Txz0cFHU #RNC2020 pic.twitter.com/E9jFPeZEAI

Twitter was on fire last night during the RNC and here are the only responses you need to see about it all:

No mention of Republican Herman Cain, who died in July after contracting COVID-19. You’ll recall, Cain became ill after attending Trump’s Tulsa rally without wearing a mask.
Herman Cain was not remembered during the RNC nor at its mask-less, Super Spreader finale on the WH lawn. Maybe it was because Cain likely contracted the COVID-19 that killed him at a mask-less, Super Spreader, Trump event in Tulsa in June.#Incovenient pic.twitter.com/vzKa6gsECa

1) I hate how Rudy Giuliani says "Black Lives Matter" 2) I hate how Rudy Giuliani says "All Black Lives Matter" 3) The way Rudy Giuliani says "Black Lives Matter" lets me know he doesn't think "All Black Lives Matter" 4)I'm shocked he got through that speech without saying Nigga.

President Trump's first mention of Kenosha, Wisconsin is to condemn "rioting, looting, arson and violence."
He has yet to mention the name of Jacob Blake, the black man who was shot seven times in the back by a police officer and who is now paralyzed, according to his family.

After the RNC, Republican Sen. Rand Paul and his wife Kelley Paul were escorted by police from the event as protesters followed them. Many of them confronted the lawmaker from Kentucky to acknowledge the shooting death of Breonna Taylor.

D.C. police officers had to escort @RandPaul to the Hotel Washington as dozens of demonstrators followed and jeered him. At least one person is being treated by protest medics for what appears to be an OC spray injury. pic.twitter.com/fOrKQ2C29D

Of course, Rand Paul hopped on Twitter and acted as if the protesters were 2 seconds from taking his life. Stahhhp it, sir.
Just got attacked by an angry mob of over 100, one block away from the White House. Thank you to @DCPoliceDept for literally saving our lives from a crazed mob.

Hey Rand, how about you "Be Best" like Melania Trump says and take action in the Breonna Taylor case! Was she not your Kentucky constituent?!
