Few At Trump's Texas Energy Event Seen Wearing Masks, Social Distancing

Video posted to social media shows that President Donald Trump's speech in Texas was attended by a crowd who largely refused to wear masks or maintain social distancing in a tightly packed area.

Trump delivered a speech on "restoring energy dominance" during an event at the Double Eagle Energy oil rig in Midland, Texas on Wednesday.

Video posted to Twitter shortly after the event by The Hill appears to show very few of the attendees wearing face coverings despite the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in Texas. There also seemed to be little physical distancing observed at the event, with attendees appearing to stand only inches apart in some cases.
