Visiting an oil rig in texas, a state when which reported 313 deaths today, the president didnt speak of that. Nor, did he wear a mask, nor did most people at the event. The president did not acknowledge the lives lost in midland, texas, right where he was. Nor speak at the rio grande valley. This is the e
