Mark Meadows handed out the chocolate to those who had gathered outside Walter Reed hospital in support of the president.
White House chief of staff Mark Meadows handed out chocolate to a group gathered outside the hospital where President Donald Trump is being treated, apparently not adhering to social distancing guidelines and having been reportedly in close quarters for several days with the president, who has been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
Footage on Fox News showed a group of people outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where Trump is being treated, to show their support for the sick president. Anchor Laura Ingraham said that Trump had found out about the group's devotion and had sent Meadows to hand out chocolates, courtesy of the commander-in-chief. "I want to read the message from Mark Meadows," Ingraham said over images of the chief of staff wearing a mask and handing out the treats to people who look to be much closer than the six-foot social distancing requirements.
