Governor Exposed to Virus Joined Trump on Jet

July 6, 2020 · 3:47 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) accompanied President Trump aboard Air Force One despite having had close contact with Trump’s son’s girlfriend, who had tested positive for the coronavirus,” the AP reports.

“Trump has been in a position all along to encounter a virus that spreads from people who don’t feel sick, such as Noem, who had interacted closely at a campaign fundraiser with Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, who turned out to be sick. Noem didn’t wear a mask on the plane and chatted with the president as the flight returned to Washington, D.C.”

“One photo on social media showed Noem and Guilfoyle, who is also a Trump campaign staff member, hugging.”
