Pro-Trump speaker Clay Clark at a Washington, D.C. rally on Tuesday afternoon encouraged fellow Trump supporters to hug each other at the event in Freedom Plaza.
"So what do we do, I am going to give everyone three action steps," Clark concluded his speech, which was centered on themes including overturning the 2020 election results and a series of other claims such as touting that he has "irrefutable proof that Dr. [Anthony] Fauci is wrong all the time."
Clark's "step one" featured the baseless claim that the coronavirus pandemic is a hoax, which led to the speaker encouraging the pro-Trump rally-goers hugging one another.
"Turn to the person next to you and give them a hug. Someone you don't know, go hug somebody. Spread it out, mass spreader. It's a mass-spreader event! It's a mass-spreader event!" Clark yelled. "It's a mass-spreader event!"
"There you go, hug it out," he added.

I don't have the words for this one.
I can't open the video but I'm dying to know, did the crowd do as it was told? Did they really hug each other? And were they wearing masks or not?
OMG, yes. It was off-the-chain disgusting. No masks.
I've been trying to find a non-Twitter vid to post, but have been unsuccessful thus far. You have to see it to really get the feel of how unbelievable insane this guy is.
Also, if there is any humor to be had about this latest idiotic nightmare, it's in the comments on the Mediaite article...especially this one::
The Lyin' King - Felony Remix • 14 hours agotrump had planned to go to his property in Scotland on the last day
of his presidency to avoid both the inauguration and incarceration.
Scotland declared a total lockdown and banned international travelers until Feb. 1.
Well played, Scotland, well played!!
See if you can open this one Buzz...
Indeed it was well played. They told him that traveling to his gold course in Scotland was a non-essential trip. So he is banned from entering Scotland until Feb 1st.
LMAO......
Thanks for posting it, Raven!! I gave up trying to find one about an hour ago.
You're welcome Sister. I told Buzz that I would convert the YouTube and other videos that he could not open to a MP4 format and post them for him so he can open them. It only takes a few minutes to do and that way he can stay in the loop, and there may be others that can't open those thy of videos.
There is an article in Help that has instructions on how to convert videos other than YouTubes to the mpg format which will work in NT as well. It's called...
and it works for other types of videos too. But, I use a third party converter on the Internet that works very well.
I knew I liked the Scots for some reason
LOL. It worked perfectly. Thank you. When it is early morning here the internet is not clogged up and everything works better for me. As the day goes on everything slows down, even the response when I click on anything.
Okay, Raven provided an alternate video that I watch, and you're right, it was unbelievable, but not so unbelievable as what has been happening since that I have been watching on news TV and news source videos.
Is that a magazine in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
It's just my tactical gear.
Ooh... You are a proud boy.
I do: Stupid!
MAGA trash are trying to start trouble outside the capitol building
some trying to breach the security barriers around the capitol
some arrested for carrying firearms
None of this should come as any surprise-- after all (as Rrump has so frequently said)-- they are THE PARTY OF LAW AND ORDER!
Best tweets:
What's an 'action step'?
Did everyone hear the moron give out his phone number? We need to flood his phone with texts.
Can't this guy be penalized/arrested for holding an event like this? Encouraging people to spread the disease?
We need to send this moron a text and tell him he's a moron along with all the other morons at his superspreader event.
His phone # is 918-851-6920
I just texted to him that he's a fucking moron . . . .
I think he could be be penalized for deliberately endangering the lives of everyone there by encouraging them to make physical contact and not wearing a face mask or protective clothing, nd not practicing social distancing.
After all, Trump does not care about their lives, and if any catch the COVID-19 from someone they hug it could be considered deliberate exposure to a known lethal disease. Or something of that nature.
But, like everything else that has been done in Trumps name and Trump himself that endangered peoples lives by exposing them to the coronavirus, they won't be charged or disciplined in any way.
And if any of those who obeyed what they were told to do and they catch the virus and die....oh well, no one told them they had to play along. Right?
And if any of those who obeyed what they were told to do and they catch the virus and die....oh well, no one told them they had to play along. Right?
Who cares about them? Not me. I care about good people they share air with. I’ve seen so much stupidity since the dawn of Trumpism that I just don’t care if his supporters live or die anymore.
People have been arrested for coughing and/or spitting on others who objected to their non-mask status.
The Darwin Awards ceremony is going to run long this year.
He's even admitting it's a super spreader event
so you are one of those people, huh?
One of what 'people'?
Obviously many of those fools are prime candidates to receive the Darwin Award:
The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool from dying or becoming sterilized via their own actions.
I don't like what they stand for, but, I really don't wish for them to die.
Thanks for posting those, Hal.
I'd bet $100 that fool didn't let a single person near him, let alone give him a hug.
Meanwhile, in the real world, the US had 229,055 new COVID cases and 3755 deaths yesterday.
Keep right on hugging you stupid fuck.
hell yeah. go to the ICU covid wards in the nearest hospital and hug those people trumpsters.
If only they wouldn't reproduce.....
If only they couldn't reproduce . . . . .
Well.....it's not too late to stop this dickhead....
Eff's plural!!
May they all get the CV.
The National Guard has been deployed on the streets of Washington DC, to keep the peace as Trump prepares to speak at the "Save America" rally.
America was saved on Nov 3, and then again yesterday in the state of Georgia.
Yet these POS which includes Trump is out there in their alternate reality believing a flim flam man.
cool. operation kent state - lock and load. live ammo, full auto. target gadsden, nazi, and confederate flags, proud boys, and any "Q" paraphernalia. /s
You are always so tough while on the internet!
Thank you for your comment. Do you have anything to say about the subject at hand?
No.
does he ever?
You're tough at home, too!
LOL! anybody looks tough compared to jello dick.
looky there, more pictures!!
Sweet!
Was the post I responded to on topic?
If so, so is mine.
Flag it or stop whining, for God's sake!
If you consider this:
Thank you for your comment. Do you have anything to say about the subject at hand?
...to be whining, then I don't think whining means what you think it means.
No.
I didn't ask what you thought.
Thank you for your final comment.
This is truly sad, they are willing to reduce Trumps base by volunteering to take on the risk of getting a deadly virus. So this is what "winning" looks like?
Yeah, they should burn small businesses, loot and kill people like respectable people do during a pandemic.
"Yeah, they should burn small businesses, loot and kill people like respectable people do during a pandemic."
You mean like Kyle Rittenhouse and the proud boys and the boogaloo boys? All those 'right-wing' outside agitators?
"outside agitators" Is there no limit to the left's delusions?
Thank you for your comment. Do you have anything to say that relates to the subject at hand?
No.
Never does.
Yeah, they should burn small businesses, loot and kill people like respectable people do during a pandemic.
That Hail Mary overshot the field and landed in the nosebleed section.
It seems more of a fumble.
You do know that it was the Proud Boys who engaged the DC police in violence, don't you?
Yes indeed. I didn't see anything about peaceful protesters anywhere. Also there is something in there about protesters, no protesters, right wing supremacist tRump supporters is what they were.
'We will not take it any more,' Trump tells supporters as Congress meets to certify Biden win
(Note strong language in paragraphs 5 and 6)
By Jonathan Landay
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump addressed thousands of supporters, including members of far-right groups, at a rally in Washington protesting Wednesday's meeting of Congress to confirm his election loss to President-elect Joe Biden in November.
Trump, who has spent much of his time since the Nov. 3 election trying to overturn the results, falsely said he won as he spoke on an outdoor stage framing the White House, which Biden is due to move into in two weeks.
Crowds gathered at the "Save America March" wore Trump-approved red baseball caps and cheered as Trump repeated the groundless conspiracy theories that have consumed his final days in office — a period in which coronavirus infections have surged throughout the United States as the pandemic worsens.
"You don't concede when there's theft involved," Trump, a Republican, said after taking the stage following a playlist blasted over loudspeakers of power ballads by Elton John and Phil Collins. "Our country has had enough and we will not take it any more."
For more than an hour, he aired familiar grievances with the news media and Hillary Clinton, his Democratic rival from the 2016 election, and delighted the crowd by calling Democratic victories the product of what he called "explosions of bullshit."
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit!" the crowd chanted in reply. Most were not wearing the face masks urged by health experts to stem the spread of COVID-19, which has killed more than 350,000 Americans.
Weeks have passed since the states completed certifying that Biden, a Democrat, won the election by 306 Electoral College votes to Trump's 232, and Trump's extraordinary challenges to Biden's victory have floundered in courts across the country.
Congress was due to confirm Biden's victory on Wednesday. Many of Trump's fellow Republicans have promised a stonewalling effort that could stretch proceedings past midnight but was almost certain to fail.
Vice President Mike Pence opened the proceedings in his constitutional role as president of the Senate. He said in a statement that while he shared the concerns about the "integrity" of the election, it was not correct that he should be able to accept or reject electoral votes unilaterally.
In his remarks at the rally, Trump repeatedly made clear his frustration with Pence if he didn't stop Congress from certifying the result.
"Mike Pence, I hope you're going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and the good of our country," Trump said. "And if you're not, I'm going to be very disappointed in you, I will tell you right now."
POLICE AND PROTESTERS SCUFFLE
Members of militia groups and far-right groups, some in body armor, mingled with the crowds.
Washington police earlier banned from the city Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Trump-supporting far-right group the Proud Boys, after he was arrested on Monday for destruction of property and possession of a firearm magazine.
Other members of the men's group, which espouses white nationalism, gathered at the U.S. Capitol. Tarrio could not immediately be reached for comment.
Crowd control largely fell to the Metropolitan Police Department, which mobilized all 3,750 officers, the Capitol Police, the Park Police, the U.S. Secret Service, and more than 300 members of the city’s National Guard, according to Washington police chief Robert Contee and other officials.
Police have told protesters not to bring their guns to Washington, which has some of the country's strictest gun laws and bans the open carrying of firearms.
On Tuesday evening, Trump supporters trying to reach Black Lives Matter Plaza near the White House were stopped by police in riot gear who used pepper spray and batons to drive them back. Police said a handful of their officers were injured in scuffles and 10 people were arrested from Tuesday into Wednesday morning, a police spokeswoman said.

That's because Trump-- and all of his supporters-- are true advocates of "Law and Order"!

Ms Julia Sugarbaker was always one of my favorite characters
I crushed on her husband for years.
Mine, too. Here's the whole thing:
Hal Linden? Is that his name? I saw him at the U of Alaska in Fairbanks doing a one man show where he played Mark Twain. It was awesome
Hal Holbrook. Hal Linden was Barney Miller.
Than-you, I knew I got it wrong

Twin composers is off the charts awesome. Great song also.
a series of other claims such as touting that he has "irrefutable proof that Dr. [Anthony] Fauci is wrong all the time."
Clark's "step one" featured the baseless claim that the coronavirus pandemic is a hoax, which led to the speaker encouraging the pro-Trump rally-goers hugging one another.
