Trump Says He Wasn't Personally At Risk in Indoor Vegas Rally

Yet, another example of how the Republican party and Fox are enthusiastically supporting a sociopath.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-14/trump-holds-indoor-rally-that-nevada-s-governor-says-risks-lives

Donald Trump defended holding an indoor campaign rally in Henderson, Nevada, on Sunday despite the ongoing pandemic, telling the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he wasn’t personally in any danger.

“I’m on a stage and it’s very far away,” Trump told the newspaper in an interview. “And so I’m not at all concerned.”

Trump’s rally at a Henderson warehouse was the campaign’s first such event indoors in nearly three months. Thousands of the president’s supporters attended the event, and few of them practiced social distancing or wore masks to protect against the coronavirus.

The state’s Democratic governor, Steve Sisolak, said the president was “reckless and selfish” and had endangered his supporters. Trump called Sisolak “a political hack” in his interview with the Review-Journal.

Also, does he have any concern for the people standing right next to each other?
