Pence defends Trump holding rallies amid coronavirus: 'We're in an election year'

Vice President Mike Pence defended President Donald Trump's return to holding large rallies, typically with thousands of supporters seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder and not wearing masks, even after 200,000 Americans have died from the novel coronavirus.

"Well, we're in an election year," Pence told ABC News Live Anchor Linsey Davis on Wednesday. "President Trump and I trust the American people. We truly do believe in this free dumb loving nation that the American people know how to look after themselves, look after their families, and look after their neighbors and look out for the future of this country."

Trump tweeted a photo from his Tuesday night rally in Philadelphia showing just how packed the event was.

Davis showed Pence, the head of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, the president's photo and asked him how he can justify such a scene given the conflicting advice of health experts seeking to mitigate virus spread.

If you’re stupid enough to go to one of his rallies despite being warned you deserve to get the virus.
