msnbc just showed mike pence at 3M where they make the masks doing a photo op.

It's all optics with very little substance

3. Profiteering

Most docs have been saying masks are ineffective for prevention. At least anything consumer grade and affordable

11. So fucking STUPID! LOOK at the four standing there! How many do you see

Wearing a fucking worthless mask? Your right NONE!! nobody, Zippo!

13. so the houseplant showed up to a facemask factory...

as if the houseplants mere presence there will suddenly calm peoples fears.

this fucking idiot was shaking hands with people who were exposed to the virus and later proved to be infected.

so is the factory now contaminated because of this fucking stupid houseplant?

14. The medical experts have already said that

the regular face masks aren't an effective deterrent against this virus so why is a govt leader promoting a company who makes them?

Maybe Pence has 3M in his investment portfolio and he's just their to safeguard his financial interests. Trump was touting the need for investors, trying to capitalize on the fears and suffering of victims in his greed for profits.

This is all Pence is good for, more staged photo ops and grinning while mouthing Trump's lies and propaganda.

15. I was going to write in the title something really snarky and might have gotten booted off DU
