Ten days? I thought the requisite number of quarantining days was two weeks or 14 days, but what would I know? I just wear my mask, drink water and exfoliate.

According to Politico, it turns out that Lee attended Barrettโ€™s announcement at the White House on Saturday and they also met again Tuesday, in which he didnโ€™t wear a mask during any of the meetings. Donโ€™t worry about Barrett as sheโ€™s already had the coronavirus this summer andโ€ฆ

Waitaminute. Holโ€™ up.

Did Barrett give Lee the coronavirus? Who knows.

What we do know is Barrett attended committee meetings, party lunches and spoke with reporters without a mask.

Politico notes that Lee was having what he initially believed were allergy symptoms and went to the doctors where he was tested for COVID-19 and found out that he was positive Thursday.

โ€œSenate Judiciary Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is scheduled to begin hearings for Barrett on Oct. 12, with Republicans planning a committee vote on the nomination on Oct. 22. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that the confirmation process was moving โ€˜full steam aheadโ€™ despite the possible coronavirus outbreak in the White House,โ€ Politico reports.

McConnell is trash and is literally Ike Turner forcing the cake down Americaโ€™s throats.

โ€œI have spoken with Leader McConnell and Chairman Graham, and assured them I will be back to work in time to join my Judiciary Committee colleagues in advancing the Supreme Court nomination,โ€ Lee said in a statement viewed by Politico.
