  1. This is what you call in responsible.that is what this whole administration he’s been doing since day one including Donald j Trump.

  2. Doesn’t matter if you’ve been tested every day. You can catch the virus at any given moment, that’s common sense? Once you have it, it’s very easy to spread it to objects and other people. Wearing a mask lowers the likely hood of you spreading the virus to other people. Why would he not respect that? ALL THAT put aside, why would he not lead by example at the very least… Already hundreds of thousands of people have died, if you are ever going to respect the dangers, now would be a really good time to do so and not take any chances… Him not putting on a mask, even when he is around so many people in all these recent videos, it truly shows how incompetent he is as a leader.

    1. @EP1CNELSON In Spring of 2015 Pence’s approval rating dropped 20 points from 67% to 47%. They figured out that he was willing to choose ideology over the best interests of the people of Indiana. They didn’t take it well. By the time his ratings started to recover a little he became Trump’s running mate so they felt he had jumped ship.

    1. M F This is the typical reaction to another regular person who has a title. He is no different than the rest of us but is put on a pedestal and given a pass. His not wearing a mask says two things: 1 He’s afraid of the orange windbag. 2 He believes he is better than us. I see him as FAKE!

    2. Wearing a mask is not a law. Its a suggestion. Wearing a mask is stupid because you can’t get enough oxygen. If you wear them too much it will weaken your immune system and it will shorten your lifespan. Pence is being smart. Any doctor with a brain will tell you this.

    3. @Killsocialmedia Do we need to pass a law to get you and yours to say “please” and “thank you” ?
      Lovely upbringing you must have had.

  3. This administration is just filled with the most corrupt, most incompetent and most anti intelligence humans I’ve ever witnessed.

    This is because Trump has routinely fired everyone else. First he fired the decent people, then the slightly compromised but mostly decent, then progressively he’s fired the more unscrupulous and corrupt and anti science of them because they aren’t corrupt, incompetent or dumb enough.

    Now this is all that’s left. Those that survived are literally without morals, competency and brains.

    1. Long before Trump was even trying to be President he stated on natl. tv he would replace everyone he could with business people he has worked with because he trusted them. this should be no surprise he has fired everyone after he is replaced in Nov he will need all those people to return favours so hes got a list.

    2. The Atheist Trump doesn’t understand the concept of Science and his religious acolytes like Pence don’t believe it as “their Earth” is 6000 years old and germs come from The Day-vil.

  4. Pence thought he was in compliance — after all, he was wearing his masks of compassion and humanity.

  5. The Vice President of the United States didn’t wear a mask because he doesn’t believe the virus is real. Obviously

    1. If you right that American government is a real pantomime since he’s leading the task force to fight this fictitious virus

    2. @dlee t it isnt about him. Its about the place has to be cleaned on a level different if a sick person is there. He had his defense in place though. Funny how defense doesn’t hold water when you are at fault if your name is Chris Cuomo. let alone around people who are wearing masks. and only that park of body is protected. All of his germs in such a sterile place????

  6. He argues that he is getting tested regularly, but even if he had taken a test just before entering the hospital, wearing a mask is also about showing solidarity.

    1. Doesn’t matter what or who it is… If that has been made an actual policy & one everyone is made aware of… If that person then chooses to not follow it (esp if/when his choices may put others at risk?!) …. why wasn’t he asked to leave?!

    2. Except that the virus can be symptomless and one minute you don’t have it and next minute…. If he had inhaled one virus and it is now deep down in his lungs unless he undergoes a bronchial lavage (unlikely) it won’t be shown in a test but he could be infectious. I imagine the Creator of all living things, including viruses, has given him a dispensation. Yuk 😉

    3. Its about the idea that he could have tested 2 hours prior and gotten contagious a hour prior from one contact. Who cares about symbolism. this is a literal life or death wrong choice.

    4. @mmanda515 Im guessing they made a effort but he made a stink or just walked in and walked all over it. If its a policy and everyone is made aware of the policy why wasn’t he responsible in the first place? Some how a celebrity getting caught acting up causes more weight than mr pence getting caught.

  7. I actually like the Vice President’s message by not wearing a mask. It tells the GOP and Shitpublicans to go out and congregate in mass. Hug and kiss each other to their hearts content.

    1. This is why people do not vote liberal. Simply the party of hate at this point. How do you folks live such a negative, miserable life?

    2. @BRETT ANDERSON Only 216450 people will die after the second wave is added to the current 74K projection or .000666% of a 325,000,000 population.

    3. @AlexPust117 Funny how belitling trump makes biden not electable but then its always ok for trump to do it?? And what is up with mr. cuomo prime time being more held accountable at easter than this situation right now??? how in the H _ _ _ is this different? Trump/Pence are the bosses of the universe.

    4. @BRETT ANDERSON It isn’t about if hes scared. he is maskless he is making a man in the place donating blood in there unable to be free from stress regarding covid around his mom

  8. If he was advised that a mask was required and didn’t wear one he shouldn’t have been let in until he put one on.. Idiot

  9. Why did you allow him in without protective gear? At this point I can’t even be mad about stupid Mike Pence?. Who by the way by breaking the rules that weren’t enforce bye the clinic jeopardized Everybody’s Health in there. He obviously doesn’t care , but you all should and have not let him in there without wearing protective gear. It’s obvious Trump and his regime do not care about America’s health. This is where we as Americans have to enforce our own Mark and say enough’s enough we’re not putting up with your shenanigans hypocrisy bullshit and superstitious crap. Come on what are you guys doing? It’s your fault you let him in there without protective gear.

    1. Im sure he made a stink. Yes they should have stuck up for right but ya know what if he knew what was better then he could have just done adult thing. Its like OMG the guy isn’t a saint. Treat him with non kid gloves.

  10. The Vice President is showing the same contempt for Americans we’ve come to expect from this administration.
