U.S
Trump spokeswoman questions lack of social distancing
White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany is criticising Democrats for not asking supporters who have taken to the streets to celebrate Biden’s win – despite the pandemic – to social distance.
She tweeted a video from a CNN journalist at the White House, showing protesters dancing to the YMCA, a popular song Trump used to end his large in-person rallies, where many did not wear masks.
Our reporter at the scene, Marianna Brady, says the news fell on a warm sunny day in the nation’s capital, which has felt like a ghost town since lockdown measures began in March.
People are popping bottles of champagne, and dancing and cheering. Although nearly everyone is wearing a mask, there is little social distancing happening.
