'I REALLY DON'T CARE DO U?'
‘Owns Stock in Coronavirus’: Melania Trump Mocked for Being ‘Only Person Not Wearing a Mask’ at Voting Site
First Lady Melania Trump, in Florida on Election Day, sauntered into a Palm Beach voter station earlier this morning. As video shows and reporters note, she was the only person at the polling place not wearing a mask.
Pool report: "At 10 am, Melania Trump entered the Morton and Barbara Mandel Recreation Center in Palm Beach to vote. She was the only person not wearing a mask.”

The First Lady says she recently recovered from COVID-19, but it is unknown how long anyone with the virus can spread it, or how long “immunity” lasts. Under President Trump the U.S. has seen over 230,000 coronavirus deaths and over 9.5 million people infected. As First Lady, she is expected to set an example and be consistent with CDC guidelines.
Asked why she didn’t vote with her husband when she was in Florida with him last week, Melania Trump said, per pool: “It’s Election Day, so I wanted to come here to vote today for the election.” https://t.co/BArKtTgslk

It didn’t take long for social media users to criticize her:

Melania voted without waiting in line? And without a mask?
Someone inside needed to challenge her "residency" at the Mar-A-Lago club (which is not a legal residence, and is not where she lives). #VoterFraud— True Blue Liberal – #BidenHarris2020 (@TrueBlueLiberal) November 3, 2020
No one should ever rewrite history and cast Melania as anything other than trash — from birtherism to "I don't care do you?" to refusing to wear a mask during a pandemic. Garbage. https://t.co/5aezhZPQIL
