Trump Campaign Ignored Health Guidelines at Rally

Washington Post: “In the days leading up to the Sept. 30 event in Duluth, Minn., local officials had privately pressed the campaign to abide by state public health guidelines aimed at slowing the spread of the novel coronavirus, documents show. In response, the campaign signed an agreement pledging to follow those rules, limiting attendance to 250 people.”

“On the day of the rally, however, Trump supporters flooded onto the tarmac at Duluth International Airport. They stood shoulder to shoulder, many without masks.”

The airport emailed the campaign: “We have been notified that the 250 person limit has been exceeded. This email serves as our notice of a contract violation and we are requesting you remedy the situation.”

“The warning went unheeded — and unanswered.”
