She added that the family did not move around the venue, but that they maintained a distance from other people, saying, “we felt like we were being safe.” Wallace shot back at Lara, reminding her that everyone in the audience was supposed to wear masks. He added that a member of the Cleveland Clinic was seen on video approaching a member of the presidential party asking if they would like masks “and they were waved away.” Lara, however, claimed that no one in the family was approached.
Earlier in the interview, Lara also defended the lack of masks at the Rose Garden ceremony for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. The event has been called a super-spreader, as many of those in attendance later tested positive for COVID-19 (via USA Today). “Well, at that Amy Coney Barrett event — look, I think most of those people if not all of those people were tested for coronavirus before sitting down for that event,” said Lara.
