Pence pressed on holding campaign events amid Covid surge

Vice President Mike Pence was twice pressed on the wisdom of holding campaign rallies, even as the administration's own public health experts continue to warn against large public gatherings and as coronavirus cases surge, during a news conference.
As those health experts — including Drs. Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci — looked on, Pence characterized attending a rally as a personal decision the government could not impede.
"The freedom of speech, the right to peaceably assemble is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States," Pence said when asked — during the first public briefing by the White House coronavirus task force in two months — why he and President Donald Trump moved forward with campaign events.

  1. Omg he’s an idiot too! Fumbling his words and leaving his crumbs of bs all over the floor!

  2. 😂 that answer was like when u were in highschool and teachers calls u up to the board but u havent study and have no idea what the answear is so u just start rambling for 2 mintues thinking u did it 💪🏼

    1. @Grateful Fredly
      actually the administration is directly responsible.
      Misinformation and delay has killed THOUSANDS of people.
      You are wrong.

    2. Taya Trefanenko-Walker you do know that the left didn’t think the virus was a big thing right ? They were furious when Trump started shitting down the Country right ? They called him a racist (again) for caring about citizens. UNTIL…..they saw the MSM sway that it’s a problem . They flip 😉 Seriously. How anyone thinks news outlets even care anymore other than money is sad 🙁

    1. Yep. It’s ALL about re-election, Baby! That is ALL they care about. The rest of us out here are simply cannon fodder.

    1. Biggest waste of my time… fortunately, I was in the middle of making dinner, so I could kind of mentally escape. My poor husband, however… He was leaping out of his lounger, swearing at the TV and scaring the cat.

    2. This administration is SOOOO stupid that after all the incompetence they have shown…..they still aspired to a 2nd term…
      Is hilarious!!!😁😅🤣

  3. He’s doing quite a dance around the question that was asked, along with outright lies – there ARE significant new covid cases.

  4. Lol “freedom of speech” while Spanky threatens to use the US military to stop people from exercising their “freedom of speech” rights. Hypocritical.

    1. Olaina Silva some Democrats have said that all cattle farmers should just euthanize there cattle …it’s wrong . 🤷‍♀️ They are just a commodity for business . So I guess you would agree that no one should have cattle ? And alligators should be able to take over New Orleans and Florida killing people ? But wait !!!!! Are you going to feed all these animals ?

    2. @annie lane Privilege. Wow, I’ve been vegan for 56 years and never been called privileged. Plant eater, animal lover, hippy. But never privileged. The animal agriculture is in short “evil.” Do research and educate yourself instead of judging ☮people who choose not to kill.

    1. Imagine a country who pushes their people to expose themselves to the virus and pass it on. This is a thought out plan.

    2. nonce and that’s not all, he is urging the supreme court to rescind what remains of the ACA. What good guy, has anybody seen what he plans on replacing it with…you know why?

  5. Now he’s talking about the importance of peaceful assembly, where was he when police was shooting rubber bullets and tear gassing peaceful protestors?

    1. Larry Klos … It’s hard for most of us to understand him because his answers to questions are usually in “Doublespeak”.

  6. Funny, I’m seeing his mouth move but the balogne that is coming out doesn’t make any sense. Vote the big, orange toddler and his but plug out of the white house. His VP can’t even defend him . He can’t even say that 8 states are climbing in hospitalizations and one of the biggest hospitals in the world (Texas) is over booked. Vote him out

  7. Freedom of speech is Important only for Trump’s political agenda, but not for those pacific protesters who want abolish systematic racism.

    1. In my mind this is a campaign strategy. Create a stigma around maskmaking, over the last couple of months. Tighten down the screws on the message. Tell your followers that their freedom and the Constitution are in jeopardy in regards to mask wearing.
