Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday evening tweeted, and then deleted, a photo showing a large group of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign staff not wearing face masks or social distancing, two recommendations of the coronavirus task force that Pence leads.

"Stopped by to see the great men and women of the Trump-Pence Team today!" the tweet read. "Thank you for all of the hard work, keep it up!"

The message was accompanied by a photo of Pence and the campaign staff giving a thumbs up sign.

The photo appeared to be from the campaign's Arlington, Virginia, office -- Pence was not scheduled to travel on Wednesday and had no public events on his schedule. In the photo, no one, including the vice president appeared to be wearing a face mask and the group far exceeded the 10-person gathering limit outlined in Virginia's phase one coronavirus guidelines.

1. Oh, you mean the photo

where the ONE black guy was front and center??

I guess his (understandably) half-assed thumbs-up did NOT meet the approval of the Manchurian Cantaloupe.

9. I can just imagine the advance team prepping this office for Mike Pants' visit.

"We need all the black people to stand in front for the photo ops."

"Black people?"

"Yes, all of them."

"Uhh... "

"Aren't there any?"

"Uhhhh... I think there's this one tech contractor who's here on Wednesdays... but..."

12. What's dumb as a post and has thumbs? THESE GUYS!!

The guy on the far left with his hands in his pockets is probably being investigated right now.

2. WTF, they act like they can't get infected!

Are they that dumb, or do they have a secret?!

They don’t just say that nonsense.

They believe it.
