As the nation continues to re-open after shutting down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, both Republican and Democratic governors have vowed to continue to get their respective states back online, even as the expected spike in coronavirus cases continues as a result of of the reopening process. Just as President Trump announced that he will restart his campaign rallies, House Democrats like Rep. Val Demings pounced.
"The president’s plan to hold mass rallies in Florida and elsewhere as we experience a resurgence in COVID cases is irresponsible and selfish," stated Demings.
Rep. Deming's statement is rich in hypocrisy as the potential vice presidential candidate forgot where she was just three days ago.

On June 8th, an unmasked Demings tweeted a picture of herself speaking at a 'Healing and Hope' rally.
"I joined a 'Healing and Hope' rally last night to speak with our community as America grieves," stated Demings
Was this an "irresponsible and selfish" act by Demings?
