Vice President Mike Pence showed up at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota on Tuesday without wearing a protective mask, violating the clinic’s policy amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1306391
Here’s hoping he has a lot of face to face discussions with Dear Leader in the near future.

My first reaction… “For Christ’s sake”. And then I thought. Oh yeah. Pence. Christ.

WTF!?!?! Look at me! I’m a REAL MAN and this whole thing is a hoax! That’s the message, right?

Needs to give him a big hug and kisses on both cheeks.

I don’t care who the hell he is, he should’ve been prevented from entering without a mask.
Imbecile doesn’t begin to describe.

I’m curious, just how many tests does the White House burn through in a week? Is the testing shortage due to this sort of stupid behavior?

What, entering a hospital during covid??? Fuck no. Both he and Donnie should be visiting daily (add the fox news staff to the visitor’s list) to check in, no PPE allowed.

I frankly don’t see anything wrong with him not wearing a mask. I will encourage him to lick toilet seats and door knobs as well. He can go and share a Thunderbird with the homeless too, I will not criticize him at all.

You make a good point…
But I’m more concerned about the patients in the hospital than I am about him. He can roast in hell but he has no right to take other sick people that aren’t affected with him.

Hopefully Pence gets the virus, then the Orange weasel has a heart attack, thus clearing the way for Pelosi to be president. The stupidity of people is astounding. And the Mayo Clinic should not have allowed him into the building.

Let’s be very clear on something-
The chumps trying to ‘re-open’ states aren’t demanding to go back to work; they’re demanding that YOU go back to work so that they can get haircuts; shop at the mall and served dinner out.
They’re angry because social distancing is an inconvenience to them; and if you (or someone you love) have to die for their comfort and profit then they are 100% okay with that.
And while we’re at it, the scam that this economy was ever booming for anyone other than millionaires went out the window the day they fired 40 million Americans after two weeks of being ‘inconvenienced’.
So say what you want- if ever there was a time for the idea of ‘Capitalism’ to prove its point, this was it. And it failed.
Utterly. Miserably. Completely.
‘Free Market’ medicine in the US infected and killed more people than every other country with a national healthcare service.
The ‘Free Market’ economy of the US put more people out of work in a shorter time than every other nation.
And the ‘Free Market’ politicians in the US are now willing to kill tens of thousands so that their wealthy benefactors can get back accruing more wealth and comfort.
The great question has been answered.

Pretty sure the patients being visited are the deplorables who want to meet him. Not shedding any tears there.

Mike Pence clearly doesn’t think rules apply to him.

And do you notice that it’s the business owners that are demanding immediate re-opening? That are opening their businesses without any preparation for bringing their workers back - no safety, no testing, no PPE?

Masks don’t go well with his steely gaze expression

There are deplorables also in the blue states.

Pence could potentially be spreading virus. Alternatively, Christian Nationalist robots may not be susceptible to COVID-19. Very strange.
