Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

This week, Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert tested positive for coronavirus. This was a big deal because he’s one of the deranged stooges who has spent the past several weeks refusing to wear a mask during House meetings and hearings. We’ve been waiting for news about whether Gohmert infected anyone else with his mask-less stunt.

Now Democratic Congressman Raúl Grijalva has also tested positive for coronavirus, after having participated in a hearing with Louie Gohmert. It’s not a certainty, but it is likely, that Grijalva caught it from Gohmert. Grijalva was wearing a mask, but that doesn’t provide absolute protection when the other person is refusing to wear a mask.

It won’t happen, because the House Republican leadership is a bunch of useless cowards, but Louie Gohmert should be suspended from Congress for this. He had no right to go around refusing to wear a mask and infecting people.
