Reporters say that the White House forced them to sit closer together at Trump's press conference because it 'looks better'

surprisingly positive employment numbers for May, the White House rearranged the seating arrangement for reporters so that they were closer together, according to the White House press corps, in violation of federal government guidelines on social distancing.... [+]

Originally, the seats were positioned several feet apart, as has typically been the arrangement for White House press conferences during the coronavirus outbreak. Trump used Friday’s press conference — in which he refused to take questions — as a victory lap after the Labor Department reported the U.S. added 2.5 million jobs in May and the unemployment dipped from 14.7% in April to 13.3%: “It’s a big day for our country,” he said. “It’s an affirmation of all the work we’ve been doing.”

Well since social distancing is over, what does it matter?

Hey brainiacs, you are outside. Believe in science and grow up.

gsthomsons

Forced you to sit together. What is this elementary school. What do you mean forced you? And you did it? You're adults! Trump not yo daddy! This is getting more ridiculous by the second. Lol

What?!

For heaven sake! You were out there rioting with the protesters DC Journalists- you didn't feel uncomfortable about them transmitting the disease-no complaining either!

Yikes! Hope none of them HAD to report on the streets with those protestors marching shoulder to shoulder. That would have been really mean. Saw many of those street reporters with no masks [gasp]. You reinforced for us... The Whitehouse is bad. QuickLearner

Fucking crazy people

Did they keep any distance during the stupid protests? BLMsucks

If you don’t like the seating don’t go. You are just going to make stuff up anyway!!!

Mmhmm. And then?

limolnar So each one took chosen risks for the sake of their belief in reporting the truth of police brutality and protestor restraint. If they do not wish to further risk themselves when they do not feel the need to they should not be forced to, another example of Trump vs. NoMeansNo!

New math! 8 men and one woman equals 8.

You can not have two narratives that are at odds with each other. hide in your house because covid? or go out and mass riot and loot? which is it racist democrats?

Is that the Whitehouse Choir?

Este infeliz no se cansa

It's because Trumpy wants them dead.

“Forced them!” Don’t go. Nobody forced them. I see the guns drawn forcing them to sit like that. Stop.

Why do you even show up...he treats you with such disdain, always late, showing not respect.....don't go to the dump party.

Nobody was forced to sit anywhere . 🤡

We don’t care. Find a real topic to report on!

President Snowflake becomes more unstable each day.

Helluva use of the word “forced”. Might want to glance at the dictionary for the one guys.

Putting a White House political spin over actions designed to prevent infection and save lives .... hmmmm🤔

Why didn’t they just say no!

Just like all the rioters abandoned social distancing

How were they forced?

Forbes each day you sound more woke. Why bother even saying it? mediaisgarbage 🗑

So the dictator in chief would not allow them to 1. Remove themselves from the premise or 2. Pick up their fucking chair & move it until they felt safe. They’re literally armless folding chairs a child could move them.

*complains about chairs too close. *Never mentions the health safety of protesters. 🤔🤔🤔 It's almost like....

If people can protest and the media thinks it’s great then why can’t you sit close, the corona Virus is obviously over

They have no problem being in a mob of people covering protests. I love the head games.

Most of them recently became advocates of public gatherings anyways.

This guys ...😂

So? They were not complaining with the protesters so close together. Speaking from both sides of their mouths?

Many of them had no problems rubbing shoulders with rioters and looters all week so ...

This is not news. You can do better than this....well maybe not!

Reporters Say White House Forced Them To Sit Closer Together At Trump Press Conference Because It ‘Looks Better’The move violates federal guidelines on social distancing. Poor babies 😂 Does deadbeat donald have a clue as to what he is doing. It appears not. Nor, does he appear to think of the lives of the free press corps whose job is to report what actually happens as oppose to his Fox News buddies that report what he tells them to report.

Experts say upgraded case against officer in Floyd's death fitsExperts interviewed after the initial third-degree case was made public last week said Wednesday that the second-degree charge appears to be appropriate, with no need to prove any intent to kill Floyd — just intent to commit felony assault. The experts appear to be correct. This is how the white supremacist looks like! He is worst than a beast causing so much of damage to the world. Put him behind bars with rigorous punishment. He is not eligible for any courtesy but only cruel treatment the way he did to innocent Floyd. It is worst of the worst cases and more serious than any felony.
