This weekend's idiots are just vicious, hateful women who were seen dropping mealworms on food during a Democratic National Convention breakfast, causing one person to get very sick. Fortunately, others noticed them and didn't eat the food. But what in the hell kind of deplorable, evil, twisted people do things like that? Obviously it's people who support Trump. This is not what Americans should be. Here's the story.
Mealworms possibly dropped on tables at Chicago hotel hosting DNC delegates breakfast
Associated Press August 22, 2024
CHICAGO (AP) — Mealworms may have sickened at least one person at a Chicago hotel event earlier this week during the Democratic National Convention, the city’s police superintendent said Thursday.
While the investigation by Chicago police and the FBI continues, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said clues point toward people putting mealworms on tables.
“I’m not sure that those were maggots,” Snelling said Thursday when asked about the possibility of insects dropped on various tables. “There was sawdust, so they were probably mealworms. They look the same. But that’s still under investigation.”
Mealworms are common insects that have wormlike, yellow-to-brown colored bodies. They are the larval form of the mealworm beetle. Maggots are similar in appearance, but soft-bodied with white to transparent color. They are the larval stage of flies.
Multiple suspects, all women, entered the Fairmont Chicago, which was hosting a breakfast for delegates at the DNC and began placing “unknown objects” onto tables with food before leaving the area at around 6:45 a.m. Wednesday, police said.
Indiana delegate Karen Tallian, a retired state senator, said two women hiding in a bathroom "ran out and threw maggots into the breakfast buffet," per USA Today.
One person who ingested the food was treated by medical personnel and released at the scene, according to Chicago police.
