Maskless GOP Congressman Nearly Falls Over Coughing While Praising Trump at Wisconsin GOP Convention

OMG.

Glenn Grothman is a congressman serving Wisconsin’s Sixth District. He is, you will not be surprised to learn, a Trumpy Republican. Indeed, Congressman Grothman was speaking today at the Wisconsin GOP convention which was, actually – held in person. Not only did Congressman Grothman speak without a mask to the crowd, he inexplicably nearly coughed himself off stage, having to loosen his tie and shake his head. He had his coughing streak as he yelled “It is time to talk about Donald John Trump!”

This is humiliating to watch once, and it’s actually not that funny – though we’re putting up a ton of people humiliating Grothman further on Twitter. But people like Grothman are the reason that this country’s COVID numbers are going through the stratosphere. Sadly, Grothman doesn’t look like someone that needs to come down with COVID, he looks like someone who might not do well.

Sigh, let’s talk about Donald John Trump *Cough*:

Wisconsin was once renowned for its common sense and populist bent. It is now mostly Trump country, at least that part outside Madison and Milwaukee. And that man has a real reason to use some common sense and be more careful.

Now Grothman is properly getting ripped on Twitter for demonstrating exactly why people need to wear masks so that when they get into a coughing fit, there is something protecting people around them from the spray!

We don’t want him to die. We don’t want anyone to die. And it’s for that reason that people like Grothman shouldn’t be at conventions greeting people and coughing all over themselves. At least people should wear a mask!

Funny.

Oh, ouch.

Good visual.

So are we. So are we. Everyone stay safe. People like Grothman are walking around near you.

Peace, y’all
