The University of Notre Dame reports that school President The Reverend John Jenkins has tested positive for COVID-19.

The diagnosis comes less than a week after he was widely criticized for not wearing a mask or social distancing at the announcement of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court at a Rose Garden event in Washington, D.C.

Jenkins was self-quarantining after his White House visit, and was tested after he learned that a colleague had tested positive.

Jenkins says his symptoms are mild and he will continue to work from home.

I am becoming less impressed with ND every day. Still like the football team. I cannot believe that Amy is deeply involved in such a religious group, and that ND supports her. Not wearing a mask?? Trying to impress Trump? I guess so.

“Such a religious group”? Been drinking the CNN kool-aid, have we? Lapping up that Handmaid’s Tale bunk as if it were reality?

But you still like the football team, so as long as you have bread to go with the circuses then the Democrats are free to burn down Rome…
