Pence: It's Your Constitutional Right to Get COVID at a Trump Rally

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Vice President Mike Pence defended President Donald Trump’s drive to hold rallies with sparse public health measures Friday, even as officials and health experts are sounding alarm bells that a resurgent coronavirus is causing problems in states across the country.

"Well, the freedom of speech, the right to peaceably assemble is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States and we have an election coming up this fall,” Pence said when asked how the administration could justify the events. “And President Trump and I believe that taking proper steps, we've created screening at recent events and giving people the very best counsel that we had. We still want to give people the freedom to participate in the political process and we respect that."

It was the first coronavirus task force briefing in almost two months, and Pence spent much of it trying to distance the nation’s present public health struggles from the situation that led the nation to shutdown in the first place, saying, “It’s different than two months ago.”

“We slowed the spread, we flattened the curve, we saved lives,” Pence said, even as data shows the nation’s confirmed cases spiking.
