The Trump/Biden campaign at odds over safety precautions as Pence objects to plexiglass

dividers on his side of the debate stage per Washington Post

CNN is reporting that fox and trump are spinning the lethality of COVID with propaganda

210000 people dead, and over 7 MILLION who have been infected, with some who will have life long side effects from this disease is the counter argument to these merchants of death

They cannot run away from the DEAD and hurt from their failure to deal with the pandemic

It probably won't happen, but what are these immoral assholes who are pushing this garbage going to say if their orange boy has a cytokine storm, or severe lung damage

Period. Trump has already attempted to assassinate Biden. Now we want to let Penis And The Dickheads attempt to assassinate Harris?

Cancel the damn debate. Booger Pence (who should be quarantining) refuses to be sanitary and safe.

I would also insist that the audience be separated by plexiglas.

And maybe fans.

object to safety precautions than to debate. Why was that? Because he was too scared to face Kamala Harris, or because as head of the coronavirus task force, just like Trump, he doesn't take the virus and American lives seriously.

I don't get the point of the objection unless some violation of Kamala's safe space is planned.

Since Pence is supposed to be so Goddamned religious, make him answer why his COVID-19 task farce and the tRUMP Administration has been lying about COVID-19 since January and doubled down on the lies since their SCOTUS Super Spreader event that took no precautions and continued to mock them. Pence needs to squirm with pressure about the actual sanity and functioning capacity of the Executive Branch and whether they are continuing to spread COVID-19 to Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government.

keeps it. Actually, I think the debates should be virtual It's insane to have in person debates during a pandemic.
