Ridiculous. Sports Illustrated did a cover shoot under pandemic protocols in Texas, also with an NFL star against a white brick wall, a few months ago. The photographer scouted, lit & shot it himself, with no assistants or techs on set for safety reasons. Don't ask me how I know.

Today, I objected to the seating of my colleagues from six states: AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, and WI.
It would confound reason if the presidential results of these states were to face objection while the congressional results of the same process escaped public scrutiny.
