President Donald J. Trump had a press conference at his Bedminster New Jersey golf club, Thursday Night and the radical left media was in a high alert outrage the entire time, but especially after a reporter asked a question about the people in attendance in the audience, who the reporter said were maskless.
REPORTER: “Just in this room, you have dozens of people who are not following the guidelines…
“They are having a peaceful protest,” Trump responded. “This is a political activity.”

Reporters were prepared to be upset.
White House press pool, upon arriving at Bedminster for the president’s news conference, had our temperatures checked but have not had COVID-19 tests.
And it appears that several dozen country club members just came downstairs to watch Trump

After pool reporters tweeted that guests were not adhering to New Jersey COVID-19 regulations, club members were given masks to wear.

Investigative Journalists did more research on New Jersey Masks than they did on Obamagate or Crossfire Hurricane.
