Donald Trump’s pal, Rodney Howard-Browne, arrested for coronavirus endangerment

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.

Even as responsible leaders keep trying to lock down the United States in order to keep the coronavirus death toll as low as possible, corrupt goons keep doing everything they can to endanger people. Now one of them, who happens to be a close pal of Donald Trump, has been arrested for it.

Over the weekend, Tampa megachurch pastor Rodney Howard-Browne held a church service in direct violation of local coronavirus lockdown orders. In so doing, he put the lives of about five hundred of his congregation members at risk. So the local sheriff had him arrested today. Howard-Browne is, not surprisingly, a huge Trump fan and a close Trump ally.

This is a major step in the right direction. The coronavirus lockdowns aren’t a matter of religious freedom. In fact this lockdown would have protected the lives of these churchgoers, if this corrupt pastor hadn’t committed the criminal act of telling them that God wanted them to show up to an unsafe gathering.

Of course the Republican Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, is guilty of far more reckless endangerment by refusing to lock down the entire state. Here’s hoping that once all is said and done, DeSantis somehow ends up arrested as well.
