Organizers of the Conservative Political Action Conference, better known as CPAC, said Saturday that a person who attended last month’s event has tested positive for coronavirus.

The American Conservative Union said in a statement that the unidentified CPAC attendee was exposed to coronavirus prior to the conference and tested positive at a New Jersey hospital earlier Saturday.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has confirmed the positive test result, and the patient is being treated and quarantined in New Jersey, the American Conservative Union said...

2. Well I hope whoever that was is severely dealt with, and

for SHAME

4. The wording above isn't clear, but the article

timeline shows he was not tested until after the conference. So he didn't get put in quarentine and then attend the conference.

That would have been poetic justice, but it doesn't appear to be the case..

15. Just look at the giant piles of trash they leave behind at MAGA rallies.

They don't view cleanliness right next to godliness.

5. So this makes 3 people identified?

An earlier report said 2 individuals from the same organization had tested positive after attending the conference.

Now this one.

It was a downright germ factory.

6. This is the part of the disaster movie when the naysayers get their comeuppance

If someone wrote a movie script with this plot line it would be rejected. It would be called too ridiculous and unrealistic.

Trump has turned the unrealistic and ridiculous into reality.

14. ANY future movie made about this administration...

Will be a dark comedy

No other way to write it

16. If we live to be able to make a movie about this administration.

If COVID-19 doesn't kill us all, then North Korea or the Saudis might.

11. They spread it by passing around those little Russian flags.

12. CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp shook hands with the person

CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp tells me he interacted with attendee who has tested positive for coronavirus. While the timeline is unknown, Schlapp shook Trump's hand on stage the last day of the conference.
