The person in charge of the Corona Task Force walked into the Mayo Clinic without a mask!

He had told the country that they should wear a mask and keep their distance to six feet. He was chosen to inform the American people and to lead against the deadly corona virus.

Yet, there he was, walking into a patient's room, with everyone around him wearing a mask, and him without a mask. Why?

Is he so cowed by Donald Trump that he would threaten the lives of these people in the Mayo Clinic by such reckless behavior? Was it because Trump said he did not choose to wear one that he felt he had to follow suit? Or be the subject of ridicule and scorn once he returned to the White House?

It is scandalous. He has no credibility left to lead any task force on fighting this epidemic.

That image will be used to show their incompetence and inability to handle the job at task.

and of course his God protects his saintly, second-in-command ass.
How arrogant and elitist to point out that he (and those around him) gets tested regularly, while others begging for
tests are refused.
