Big ol' Gold Star families event the day after the Amy Coney Barrett Superspreader Fiesta? Has anybody checked to see if these families are well?

God, they're fucking exhausting:
For [Tucker] Carlson and his Friday guest, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), the lesson of Trump getting the virus after ignoring public health recommendations is that there's no point in implementing those recommendations. "If this virus can get into the Oval, into the body of the president, there is no place where it could not possibly infect one of our fellow Americans," Gaetz claimed , adding that "there is no lockdown that can be a panacea to save everyone from everything, and this is proof positive that's the case."
