Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki today if the Texas Democrats, who fled their state to block Republicans from passing election laws, are a COVID super-spreader group:

Of course Psaki says that’s not the characterization the White House would give the group, but you know that’s bunk, because they’d absolutely be saying this about Republicans if they’d done the same thing to block Democrats and started coming down with COVID.
Speaking of Texas Democrats being a super-spreader, Psaki also confirmed that there has been a ‘breakthrough’ case of COVID in the White House (off campus) from someone who met with these Texas Democrats.
Press sec. Jen Psaki confirms a fully vaccinated White House official tested positive for COVID-19 off campus: “We know that there will be breakthrough cases, but as this instance shows, cases in vaccinated individuals are typically mild.” https://t.co/xK19f0s8vd pic.twitter.com/Zb336443b2

Here’s a bit more:
Psaki clarifies to @edokeefe there have been other breakthrough COVID-19 cases in the White House that have not been publicly disclosed.

O’Keefe: “You confirmed today there’s been a breakthrough case.”
Psaki: “Yep.”
O’Keefe: “But you’re also confirming there have been other breakthrough cases?”
Psaki: “Yep.”
O’Keefe: “But you had not previously disclosed that there had been?”
Psaki: “And — that’s correct.”— Kathryn Watson (@kathrynw5) July 20, 2021
Psaki notes that they committed to informing the public of any commissioned officer-level positive tests, and stand by that.

As one person asked, why does it matter if just a ‘commissioned officer’ who contracts COVID?
In any event, it looks like these Texas Democrats are clearly making their mark on DC. Just not the mark they had planned on making, LOL.
