I was told by a little snowflake who was a rude, terse, mask Nazi to our guests, "If it saves just one black life, we need to protest. Social distancing is not relevant because the cause is worth it, they are listening to us now."

Reporter asks press secretary why it's OK for the president to have thousands of people at his outdoor rallies. She explains: These are 'peaceful protests.'
In the wake of President Donald Trump holding another outdoor campaign rally where many attendees did not wear face masks, the media wanted to know why the White House believes such rallies are OK when states have said they are not allowed.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany used the left's own "peaceful protests" canard to clearly explain that the president was not doing anything his political opponents were not already doing.
During the White House press briefing Wednesday afternoon, a reporter demanded to know why the president insisted on holding outdoor rallies with thousands of attendees when governors have declared a ban on such gatherings.
"Why did the president have thousands of people, many not wearing masks, at a rally last night in a state that has limited outdoor gatherings to 50 people? Why is he going to Nevada this weekend to hold similar outdoor rallies?" the reporter asked, noting that the events are "in violation of his administration's own guidance and of the best advice and guidance of local officials who he has said should have final say in these matters"
McEnany was ready for the question and made it clear the president believes that if the rally sauce is good for the liberal "peaceful protest" goose, then it is good for the GOP campaign gander.
"People have a First Amendment right, if they so choose, to show up and express their political opinion in the form of a peaceful protest, which is what the president held," she explained.
Then she called out the media's double standard when it comes to their treatment of BLM protests versus Trump rallies.
"There's a real double standard here, CNN had on a guest, apparently a doctor, Rob Davidson, who said, 'Now, true, there are social distancing issues' with regard to the protests we've seen around the country, 'however, this is a public health crisis — they are marching against systemic racism,'" McEnany revealed, citing an interview Davison gave Anderson Cooper on Aug. 28.
"So if you're allowed to march in aggregate in those protests, you are also allowed to show up at a political rally," she concluded. "You have a First Amendment right in this country."
