WATCH: GOP congressman suffers coughing fit -- while praising Trump at mask-optional GOP convention




Republicans in the swing state of Wisconsin gathered in Green bay for a mask-optional convention on Saturday.

“Speakers at the convention also praised Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the president’s push to reopen the nation’s economy and schools. More than 300 people attended the GOP state convention, with few in attendance wearing face masks, as [recommended] by public health officials,” the State Journal reported Saturday.

“The state GOP said 322 people attended the convention held indoors at the KI Convention Center. While the party offered free face masks to everyone, Wisconsin Public Television reported that only about a dozen attendees chose to wear one,” WPR reported. “U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman, R-Glenbeulah, gave the most forceful defense of President Trump at the convention, beginning his speech by yelling the president’s name so loudly that he momentarily lapsed into a coughing fit.”

Start spreadin' the flu, I'm caughin' today
I want to be a part of it
Trump flu, Trump flu
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
Trump flu, Trump flu

I wanna to be waked, in a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
In mass graves that are so very deep....




Trump Flu, Trump Flu

Back when he was still only in our state assembly, he said women don't need to have income equity since "money isn't that important to women."

He's a total asshole, always has been, always will be.

He doesn't exactly appear to be in the best of of health.
And it's not just the coughing,
Maybe a few too many Big Macs as well?

You might be looking at a new Congressman soon.
Or a new congresswoman. Just saying.

Maybe the GOP will need their own hospital as well as their own prison.
