DANA PERINO: The media today at the White House, they were very, very interested about White House precautions about now wearing masks if you're in the West Wing, unless you're at your desk. And all--the ability for people that are near the President, something they made clear, that you're getting tested regularly if you are in contact or near the president which makes sense to me.
JESSE WATTERS: These reporters are just so dumb and nasty. They're acting like the president of the United States is just some average guy that doesn't need extra protection. If you're 25 years old and you live in Idaho and it's time to go back to work at the restaurant and you're perfectly healthy, you don't need a test. But if you're going to the White House and interacting with the commander-in-chief, you're probably going to need a test. They are acting like it's a scandal that people around the most powerful man in the world get a test.
