On Sunday morning, Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Pete Hegseth accused Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden of engaging in “a virtue-signaling strategy” by not holding large rallies during the pandemic, as President Donald Trump has been doing. In fact, reporting has suggested that Trump’s campaign rallies may have contributed to community outbreaks in areas where he has held them; the campaign has also repeatedly flouted local officials’ guidelines regarding large crowds during the coronavirus pandemic.
Cases are also spiking nationwide, and as the United States breaks records for new coronavirus cases, the Trump White House has made it clear that it has no plans to try and control the spread.
