Vice President Mike Pence deflected and pivoted when repeatedly pressed on the Sunday news shows on President Donald Trumps liberate tweets seemingly inciting civil unrest against states implementing social distancing guidelinesthe very same practices that the Trump administration has itself recommended.
A day after announcing a three-phase map for states to gradually reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic, the president rage-tweeted on Friday, calling for three statesall swing states with Democratic governorsto be liberated. Trump would later defend his support for protests against stay-at-home orders, saying the protesters were very responsible people.
Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace immediately confronted Pence on the growing anti-quarantine protests, asking him to personally weigh in while also noting that many of the participants were ignoring social distancing.
Pence, for the most part, swept that question aside in favor of generally praising the presidents handling of the pandemic before saying that Trump now wants to get the country back to work.
No one wants to reopen America more than President Donald Trump, Pence said. And what you see, I think, among millions of Americans who have been embracing those social distancing measures and making the sacrifices is they want their governors to find a way to responsibly and safely reopen their state economies.
