Actor Chadwick Boseman has passed away at the age of 43 after a private battle with colon cancer. The President spent his weekend tweeting his support for Trump fans contributing to violence in Portland. Twitter has labeled a video tweeted out by House Minority Leader Steve Scalise as “manipulated media”. The video Scalise posted shows a conversation with Joe Biden and activist Ady Barkan, whose voice has been doctored to suggest Joe Biden supports defunding the police. One of Trump’s top medical advisors is pushing a “herd immunity” strategy to combat the pandemic. The late Herman Cain’s twitter account has shared an article with disputed claims regarding the deadliness of coronavirus. An anti-masker at an Alaska Walmart threw a tantrum of biblical proportions.

"WASHINGTON —
President Trump and his allies sought to depict protests over racial injustice as a law-and-order campaign issue Sunday, attacking Democratic leaders, refusing to condemn deadly vigilante violence and touting a purportedly tranquil “Donald Trump’s America” as former Vice President Joe Biden accused him of inciting violence for political gain.
Against the backdrop of a still-raging coronavirus outbreak, the White House offered the clearest signal yet of a calculated GOP strategy of exploiting voter fears of violence as the campaign against Biden enters the final stretch.
The strategy closely resembles the one Trump employed, unsuccessfully, in the 2018 midterm election, when he spent weeks warning of “caravans” of migrants trying to reach the U.S. border with Mexico. That approach failed to stave off large Democratic gains in congressional races, but Trump has returned to it this year as he continues to lag behind Biden in polls of the presidential race."
