.
The Mayo Clinic tweeted and then deleted a tweet stating that they told Mike Pence about their mask policy when the VP was shown not wearing a mask.
Pence toured the Mayo Clinic and was the only person in the video who was not wearing a mask. Pence was also not practicing social distancing, but he did avoid shaking hands.
Here is the deleted tweet, because nothing ever really goes away on the Internet:Charles Johnson

The Mayo Clinic has now deleted this tweet. Hmm.Link to tweet
Someone at the Mayo Clinic posted the tweet because they wanted the world to know that Pence was told the policy, and violated it. The Vice President should have been well aware of the policy because he is in charge of the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
One can be certain that the administration said something as soon as the tweet from the Mayo Clinic was seen.
Pences stunt, likely made Trump happy, but it backfired on the administration. Pence looked like a virus denier as he was in a room surrounded by people who were wearing masks.

(12,806 posts)None of the conservative establishment has the backs of regular Americans or the nation's institutions and businesses, so everyone ends up in fear of being ostracized (or de-funded) by criticizing this big, spiteful baby squatting in the White House. Power-hungry, yet milquetoast snowflakes, the Republican party will forgive and defend anything Trump does (or doesn't do) and they all must be voted out, at every level of government.
Government doesn't need to be made small enough to drown in a bathtub, a la Grover Norquist, but the Republican party most certainly needs to meet that fate for this country can find its way again.

It shows the hypocrisy and fear of the truth for the Trumpers.
