Second lady Karen Pence asserted on Thursday morning that her husband, Vice President Mike Pence, was unaware of the Mayo Clinic’s face mask policy until after his visit with staff and a patient. Earlier this week, the veep drew outrage for flouting the clinic’s rules, prompting the facility’s Twitter account to note in a since-deleted tweet that it “had informed @VP of the masking policy prior to his arrival today.”

Asked on Fox & Friends why the vice president didn’t wear a mask, Mrs. Pence replied: “It was actually after he left Mayo Clinic that he found out that they had a policy of asking everyone to wear a mask.” Outside of the facility’s tweet contradicting this claim, CNN reported that the VP’s office was briefed days in advance of the clinic’s requirement on masks to guard against coronavirus transmission.

shit about the rules.

2. Everybody else was wearing a mask.

You would think that he would have gotten the hint, even if he wasn’t “officially aware” of the rule.

This is a LAME defense.

4. I'm willing to bet that the Mayo Clinic has a sign on every door that says you must wear a mask.

And as you said seeing everybody wearing mask should have been a tip off.

Please tell me why 35% of America still support Trump and Pence? This C-19
pandemic is the biggest fuck up in history.

6. If I could answer that question, I would deserve the "Noble" Prize.

Ya got me.

14. I can partially answer why Trump still has support of 30 to 40% of Americans.

1) Reagan got rid of the fairness doctrine which has allowed a certain % of
Americans to be bathed in misinformation for the past 2.5 generations.

2) Trump has given the O.K. to people to use the n****r word again and
every time he makes the o.k. sign with his right hand he is flashing a white
power gang sign.

7. "Sir, it's our policy" wasn't a bit of a wake-up call?

God, the Pences are just bone-stupid and poison-mean.

[Goodheart]

8. So, he either thought the rules didn't apply to himself, or, having seen everybody around him,

he was totally oblivious.

Either way, he's a fucking dumbass.

9. BULLSHIT TO THE NTH DEGREE!!!!!!!

You know, if I walk into a function and everyone’s wearing a yarmulke, I pick one up and wear it. If I visit a dentists office as a visiting clinician and everyone is wearing a mask and a hairnet, I wear them. It’s what any sane normal person does.

Oops,,,sorry. Did I say “sane normal”? I forgot...

15. The MOTHERLODE of bullshit

10. Sure, "mother", whatever you say.

11. One mustn't get between a Mother and her - ahem - cub

Honestly, these people dare to moralize to us with their Bibles in hand, while they go out and lie openly to millions at the drop of a hat. Basta. Enough already.

[ismnotwasm]

12. Complete bullshit

That’s NOT how hospital infection controls operate.

[gratuitous]

13. Last time I checked, the Bible was very much against lying

Maybe the Pences read a different Bible?

16. Hmmm so your admitting

your lame ass husband has no common sense.
