Matt Schlapp interacted w/ infected CPAC attendee



Seung Min Kim ✔@seungminkim

“ACU chairman Matt Schlapp told the Washington Post on Saturday he did interact with the infected at the event. The precise chronology could not be learned, but Schlapp did shake Trump’s hand on the stage with Trump at the last day of the conference.”

no outside contact, he is around 50 and has been in the hospital since the 5th I believe. No outside contact tells me there is likely community spread.
Doesn't he work in the WH now? Does his wife still work there?

She stopped working @ the WH last July:

Mercedes Schlapp (née Viana; born December 27, 1972) is an American lobbyist and columnist. From September 2017 to July 2019, she served as White House Director of Strategic Communications in the Trump administration. Since July 2019, she has worked on the Trump 2020 re-election campaign


But, it likely means she's at most, if not all of the Nuremberg rallies.

It would be blasphamy to think that the chosen of God could have a disease.
