With Florida continuing to experience record-high numbers of coronavirus infections, Republican party officials are considering holding some or all of their August national convention events outdoors – in steamy Jacksonville, Fla. “This sounds like a good, sweating time,” says former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele. The convention was already relocated from North Carolina in June, after that state couldn’t guarantee President Donald Trump could accept his party’s nomination in front of a crowd without social distancing. Aired on 07/14/2020.

'A Good, Sweating Time': GOP Mulls Moving National Convention Outdoors Amid COVID-19 Surge | MSNBC
Hey Republicans! If you don’t go or show up you aren’t loyal to your Emperor!
Now go get Covid for his majesty! Bring the family!!
If they don’t go or show up then THEY should have THEIR Funding and Salaries cut, just like SCHOOLS & TEACHERS WILL!!
@Annie Warbux Sweet reply.A teacher died in Arizona of virus teaching summer school.tRump needs to go and his partners in crime and his family.stay safe.✌
@Annie Warbux: I’m sorry to say the economics of the 2008 financial fraud aggression is
still going around America in waves. In two or three months the residential evictions will begin.
If that doesn’t make Americans rise up and burn down the White House and stock markets…
Then they come back and infect others because of their selfishness
@cindy clarke cough in the faces of walmart workers and scream “i have a breathing problem” at 120 decibels with saliva spitting from their mouths
A superpreader by Trump and the Republicans…meanwhile Ivan’s advises unemployed Americans to try something new……
IVANKA PLEASE GIVE THAT ADVICE TO YOUR FATHER – THE CRIMINAL IN CHIEF
The Tweatles never met tuck carlson i guess?
@The Tweatles Fact, you’re a lunatic.
BLM = Burn Loot Murder = BLM !!
Didn’t France have a revolution over a similar response to the people sufferings
@B Lewis “Some people say” it was over cake, that’s what “they” are saying….https://images.app.goo.gl/Kc5EBegffQngdgNs9
Move it to Russia where they belong.
Please America, let us help Republicans and tRump’s base to gather as much as they want. We can even pay for all their travel costs.
We just need to make sure they don’t mix with humans.
@Matt O’Byrne thats awfully generous of you.
@The Tweatles Is that your brain on drugs speaking ?
😂😂🙏
Town of Russia NY (pop 2,533) is in Herkimer County. But NY would require a 2 week quarantine on DT’s covid rally.
Victims and family members should hold Donald J Trump responsible for their pain, suffering and loss.
If my wife gets it and dies in front of me, trust me I will know who to blame and will take appropriate action.
@TrumpVirus-19 IMEI Officials, Tweatles , get lost and SC are trolls, if you answer they get bonuses. The longer the exchange the bigger the bonus. Their posts are designed to draw you in, don’t fall for it.
@Rob E Thanks. I didn’t know that they got that
2/3 of the 1% are Small Business Owners
responsible for a Majority of the Jobs Created and the Economic Growth in America
the 1% or 1.6 million, Pays 40% of all the income tax collected
Trust me… after Trump leaves office, he will never get out of court. Dozens of criminal charges… thousands of lawsuits… he’s going to be utterly destroyed.
They’ll start wearing masks to try to hide the egg on their faces.
🤣🤣😔🤣
BLM IS NOTHING MORE THAN A RACIST HATE GROUP…
@Up Your’s I don’t think you’ve been paying attention. That isn’t the topic of this conversation.
@Up Your’s I CAN SEE WHY THEY WOULD HATE RACIST
@Up Your’s troll
Yet they want schools opened.
Makes perfect sense
I think they call this type of hypocrisy “don’t do as I do, do as I say”
then kids come home infecting their parents and grandpa
@cs strike the teaches and other staff.
Make attending the convention a requirement for all the senate republicans and congressmen. Lets see their support for this clown
they are only idiots in public, in private they know what the deal is
Exactly my thoughts!
The RNC is going to turn into a coronavirus crockpot in that Florida August heat.😄
The democrats are going to turn our country into a communist hair sniffer child trafficking country .
@red is for freedom blue is for losers 👈 MAGAtard in Meltdown 😏
@Dann Marceau
😂😆
Covid-19: For my fellow GOP conventioneers, I await your attendance in Florida. You have your people contact my people and we’ll do lunch. This will be a chance of a lifetime, don t miss out. After the convention please return home and share this experience with others.
A coronavirus crockpot… I LIKE THAT. lol
Trump: “Today, I am officially terminating my relationship with reality. I don’t like the way that reality has treated me. Reality has been very unfair to me….so tremendously unfair. No one should ever be treated the way that reality has treated me. In fact, I have instructed my Attorney General William Barr, to launch an investigation into reality, and find out it’s connection to the “deep state.”
Looks like a job Barr could pass on to Rudy.
@Ignoranceisbliss What !
Everything is BLM or you just haven’t been watching the news ? BLM is saying we are taking over with the help of the middle east Muslims…
@Up Your’s I’m really confused by you. Are you saying BLM caused the pandemic?
No BS He’s a bot. And stupid.
@Queen Bee you’d think putin would choose better…
Even us Floridians won’t spend all day in the sun at the end of August. They’ll have to worry about covid19 and heat stroke.
@Hilary H – this was my thought exactly…a huge category 5 coming either from the gulf or up the Atlantic coast, flooding Jacksonville and washing all the corruption out to sea.
Randall Johnson since I live on the coast near Jacksonville sort of hoping for bad enough to ruin it for them but not bad enough that I have to evacuate
Hope they enjoy their day in the sun…

move it to Phoenix… its a dry 113 degrees
My sister lives in Florida, she said she is trusting the president and the governor. She then asked if I wanted to visit. LOL. I just had to hang up.
@Diane Hooper Thank you, too! Be well.
@Pilfer Bean You too, dear !
Good for you #DonBeGone2020
😂😂😂😂😂😂 good choice 👍 hanging up
Yea…I had to do that myself..sorry about your sister.😔
Let me get this straight: They want to move the convention outdoors so that it will be safer…but they want to send kids back into the classrooms?
@Ace1King1 Have you checked the data on homeschooling vs public schools?
https://www.nheri.org/research-facts-on-homeschooling/
@Just Say’n I have and it correlates with everything that I have said!
If the infections hit Kentucky, senator 🐢 is done
@Donthurt Precious They don’t care about fetuses either, they just care about the dollars and voters that propaganda pulls in. U.S. has one of highest death rates for mothers and newborns and it ain’t from abortions.
Kids cant vote. Simple.
if you dont risk your life for him it means you’re a “never-trumper”.
Risk your life? The death rate is .0001%
@Ace1King1 fun fact, it’s not .0001%, do your homework.
@Alex Liu My mistake. I forgot we’re dealing with decimals. It’s .000001%. Feel better now?
If they do they’re idiots
@Ace1King1 I’d say you’re as stupid as a brick but at least bricks are used for something
Teflon Don, McConnell’s Mafia, and Barr’s Gestapo must go. They should all go to the Convention and shake every person’s hand. Hugs would be nice too. You know…just to show what a HOAX COVID-19 really is…
If they could all kiss each other while they’re there that would be nice.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
French kiss
@Leslley Scotte Nooooooooo!
Oh Yeah!!! 🥰
with tongue please
Outdoors??? When they are insisting schools open, they are scared to be inside…. cowards
Every senator that voted to acquit Trump should be required to attend the convention.
every traitor! better yet… lock them up!
Which would be all of them, except for that Mormon dude (sorry, I’m Canadian, can’t remember his name off the top of my head 😉
@Cherula Famana Mitt Romney.
@RustyTube Yeah. That guy! 😉
@Cherula Famana 🙂
Oh! Moscow Mitch is apparently a coward. He said he won’t attend however, our children MUST return to school!
Vote BLUE
Kim
why is he afraid of a hoax? a democratic hoax at that
If you could make stupid a person that person would be Republican
I’m curious to see just how high wearing a red hat in full sun can raise the temperature of the average republican brain…
lol
