Karen Pence says vice president didn't know about Mayo Clinic mask policy until he left

[sabra]

Source: The Hill

Second lady Karen Pence said Thursday that Vice President Pence had been unaware of the Mayo Clinic's policy requiring all visitors to wear a face covering until after he left the facility on Tuesday.

"As our medical experts have told us, wearing a mask prevents you from spreading disease. And knowing he doesn’t have COVID-19, he didn’t wear one," she said on "Fox & Friends."

"It was actually after he left Mayo Clinic that he found out they had a policy of asking everyone to wear a mask," the second lady continued. "So someone who’s worked on this whole task force for over two months is not someone who would have done anything to offend anyone or hurt anyone or scare anyone."

...

On Tuesday, the clinic tweeted, then deleted, a message that it informed Pence of its masking policy prior to his arrival in Rochester.

"Mayo shared the masking policy with the VP’s office," the clinic said in an emailed statement after deleting the tweet.

3. Thou shalt not lie has been deleted from the Ten Commandments

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Mother Pence contradicted her husband, a no-no in the Church and outside of it.

VP Pence yesterday indicated that he knew about the regulation and opted not to respect it. He said that he tested negative for The Virus and thus, he wasn't a danger to anyone and he also said without the mask, he could look the healthcare workers "in the eye" to thank them sincerely for their work.

You can't both know and not know simultaneously.

19. Unless he's Schrodinger's Vice-prezdent........??

7. everyone else wearing one..

[NCjack]

25. He must be blind to masks. Or a liar.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. You noticed the Secret Service

wearing them, didn't you??????????

Of course, prior to the virus, they probably already wore them anytime they were around any RepubliCon, and doubled up when near Trump, McConnell, or Pence. And tripled up when around Jared and his Trailer Trash Barbee........

8. That's pure bullshit.

[marble falls]

9. She's right, we all know how stupid he is.

[cutroot]

10. He admitted that he didn't wear one because he wanted to look everyone in the eye

Whatever that means. He knew.

[MissMillie]

11. In a pandemic, if there were any doubt at all.

You think he'd know to ask.

If he and his boss had 1/2 a brain all together, I'd be surprised.

12. rewriting every minuscule piece of history

so fox will pick up on the spin and spread it far and wide.

[3Hotdogs]

13. Pence: "Jesu --fuck, I meant, Gee. I wonder why everyone got a mask on but me?

Mother, you know anything about this?"

[BarbD]

14. My eyes are not just rolling, they're spinning.

That is soooo lame. Geez.

[stopdiggin]

15. LIE! No, you can't rewrite the story 3 days later.

Your husband knew about the masks .. and refused to comply. The only misunderstanding here is the belief that truth and lies .. are interchangeable.

[qazplm135]

16. Lying

is a sin...Karen.

[ArizonaLib]

17. Like we tell our teen when she 'forgets' to turn in her homework:

'When you see everyone else handing theirs in, that is your clue!'

Pence's crap is weak. At least he could have went ahead with a little machismo instead of letting his wife imply that he is stupid.

[sobenji]

20. Karen used to be a customer at my pet food store

Always thought she was nice, could never figure out why she was with him.

Never again.
She is complicit in all this BS.

21. That is a lie.

[WestLosAngelesGal]

22. He's in charge of the task force so...

he should be carrying his mask and gloves everywhere he goes. He knows better than to go into a hospital without a mask! Anyone over the age of 8 knows better.

23. Mother tries to cover for her little boy

[EarthFirst]

24. You cannot enter a fucking grocery store without being masked in much of the nation...

So why would a god damned medical facility be exempt.

There’s ZERO fucking way he “didn’t know...”

What it was; was a wink to the ReOpen terrorists...

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

28. Lame

and if he really, honestly and truly didn't know, I'm sure someone was responsible for telling him, before he went in. Fire that person if that's the case...………...

[Marcuse]

29. Merely exerting the Republican right to bear false witness.
