...It was TRUMP AND PENCE'S JOB to formulate a coordinated federal response that PROTECTS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE STATES.

Pence and Trump have pawned responsibility for responding to COVID off onto the states and the American people. IT WAS THE PRESIDENT'S JOB to respond to the coronavirus, NOT the American people's and NOT the states.

He'd deflecting. He should NOT have gotten away with that shit.

under Obama and Biden. Yeah, and 99.99% lived without any long lasting effects. H1N1 is not as lethal as SARS-COV-2. I wish she had told him that when Pence was the governor of Indiana he presided over an HIV outbreak that is a case study in how not to handle a public health crisis.

No matter what he or the president do, Pence presents it like every American is behind it. On the flip side, whenever HE takes offense at something, ALL Americans are outraged.
