Trump rally brings complaints, quarantine after rules on masks, distancing ignored


A photograph posted on Instagram shows Michelle Kaplan posing with congressional candidates Dale Crafts seated; Jay Allen; and former U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin in a red jacket.



An Ellsworth physician assistant who attended Sunday’s rally with President Donald Trump is self-quarantining for 14 days after posing unmasked for pictures with both of the Republican Party’s congressional candidates in Maine, as well as former U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin and White House Chief of State Mark Meadows.

Michelle Kaplan, a Republican state House candidate in Ellsworth, told The Quietside Journal she is “voluntarily self-quarantining” for two weeks “out of an abundance of caution.”

There is no indication that Meadows, Crafts, Allen or Poliquin are doing the same. Each of them has often been at public events with many others who are not wearing face coverings.

The host for the president’s rally, Treworgy Family Orchards in Levant, issued a statement Tuesday expressing dismay that the event grew so large and failed to follow state rules for social distancing and wearing masks.

There's a pandemic and no masks or social distancing in sight?

Willful ignorance is dangerous.
