I’m sure there are a ton of nobodies out there laughing and enjoying the positive test for Trump and Melania on coronavirus tonight, but here’s a guy who is a huge name on the progressive left:
Can we dispense with the fake sympathy which doesn't acknowledge obvious poetic justice of Trump getting Covid since he downplayed the pandemic the entire time? But I do have real sympathy borne out of deceny & practicality. I don't want anything to happen to him until he loses.

Nice. I mean, at least he’s honest in saying they’re all lying about their sympathy for Trump.
On the other hand, at least Maddow was decent about it:
God bless the president and the first lady. If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery — and for everyone infected, everywhere.
This virus is horrific and merciless — no one would wish its wrath on anyone.
We must get its spread under control. Enough.

Then again her fans were less civil:
Rachel :Maddow has me fucked up. She sits her ass on MSNBC 5 nights a week literally DETAILING how awful this man is and now telling ppl to pray for his recovery? GIRL, BYE!
