GOP Official Blames White House Party for Covid

“The vice chairman of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee is battling COVID-19 after attending what he described as a largely maskless holiday party at the White House earlier this month,” the Boston Globe reports.

Said Tom Mountain: “I didn’t listen to the warnings of my own family, and now I’m paying the price.”

He told WJAR: “Lets put it this way: When I went down to Washington, D.C., for the White House Hanukkah event, I was perfectly fine. And three days later after that event, I was in the hospital… ready to be put on a lifesaving ventilator.”
