OMAHA - Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert says she tested negative for COVID-19 after protesters spat on her outside City Hall this month. When asked if the spitting was intentional, Stothert said, “I believe so.” During a press conference Monday, the mayor said she got spit on her while talking to protesters. She was tested on June 8.

Stothert said her goal when the spitting incident occurred was “to go out and talk to (protesters).”

“I didn’t say a word about (the spit) to tell you the truth,” Stothert said. “Because my intention was going out there to listen and to answer questions. And the last thing I wanted to do was to leave as they became angrier and angrier.”
