Now, as Mountain recovers at home in Newton, Mass., he says he likely contracted the virus at the White House event. “Lets put it this way: When I went down to Washington, D.C., for the White House Hanukkah event, I was perfectly fine,” Mountain, 60, told WJAR. Mountain, sporting a “Trump” jacket and a red, white and blue tie, also strolled through the East Wing without a mask. “People would just leisurely and gingerly take off their mask to mingle, to schmooze,” he told WJAR. Although his wife skipped the White House event, she and other relatives, including Mountain’s son, daughter in-law and mother in-law, all later tested positive for the coronavirus as well, according to the Globe.
