At least 8 Secret Service agents remain in Phoenix after coming down with coronavirus while preparing for a visit by VP Mike Pence, sources say

Last month, up to 15 agents who tested positive for the virus loaded into cars and drove themselves home, avoiding flights after becoming infected while preparing for President Donald Trump's campaign rally, according to another source familiar with the situation.And in South Dakota, agents have been on the ground for days preparing for Trump's visit to Mount Rushmore -- but also for what some view as the inevitability that one or many of them will contract the virus.

And previously Pence communicated extensively with governors via teleconference. The duties required of agents often make following federal guidelines on social distancing difficult, though the agency has said it is working to keep its employees safe."The health and safety of our workforce, their families, and that of our protectees remains the agency's highest priority," Secret Service director of communications Catherine Milhoan said in a statement.

Gee.....I wonder if Trump needs 8 room mates for awhile.

Fuckinggggg liessssss

😂😂😂😂😂😂

VP Putz is now wearing a mask ...

Mexico did put up a wall! Too funny.

Fakedemic

Amazing how massive often violent protests get 0 reporting, but a civilized event hosted by a truly decent man gets your typical nonsense.

Meanwhile, as CNN is obsessed with a Trump rally... we have thousands every night protesting...

to bad those agents dont get the same protection and concideration when dealing with Covid 19 as there charges do , just shows how much trump cares for the real working man even when there job is protecting him !!!

And they’ll be fine. We’re going to reach herd immunity soon.

Why do leftists squeal like pigs

Killer

Good

Fake news

CNN you’re the only cable news announcing ‘breaking stories’ of persons coming down w/coronavirus -

Too little, too late !

AntiTrumpReport I'm so sad to hear this. Trump is putting good people into harm's way. TrumpResignNow

Just spoke to covid-19 HQ. They don't give a rat's patoot about your constitution, its amendments, or your boredom. All troops mutating to 'G' serotype which is 3 to 9 times more infective. Good luck!!

And they will be just fine.

I still don’t know anyone that had it. My wife and son both been tested and came back negative

Bla bla bla panic bla bla panic bla bla CNN PIECE OF SHIT DONALD TRUMP BEST PRESIDENT EVER WWG1WGA MAGA

And NONE of them will die of it.

Who cares. It’s the flu

Folks get ready for the shit to hit the fan. These people give zero shits about us, all they care about is the market which will adjust itself, and won't be good and getting re elected to have a great time at tax payers expense and disappear. Sad as Fk

We don’t want them in our state

How’d they get a hoax I truly hope they recover. Pence should be held responsible.

Don't worry, Pence has the cure

You point is

Your administration is to blame for the further spread of this virus

Why do they even work for these morons?

A new comedy coming from Fox - Stuck in Phoenix.

I am not sure of what is the greatest threat to the US and the world . Trump or the virus.

The lack of common sense is astounding in some American people. Science 🧬 is common sense applied.

Donnie and Mikey are out to annihilate us one happy trip at a time. One Secret Service member, staffer, supporter and every other American at a time. Bet they want the Rose Garden to themselves for a mutual admiration moment. No one else would attend.

Terrible

People are also starting to show flu like symptoms from wearing masks for long periods of time.

I call BS! Where is the proof?

They getting paid to have it, so why should we care ?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!

The sad part is these agents risk their lives every day. And the thanks they get is a virus that 1) SUCKS and 2) endangers the lives of their family and friends.

Pence why are you putting your Secret Servicemen in more danger thanks needed. Wake the HELL up or that’s where you’re headed.

Come out and celebrate the Forth of July and take the Coronavirus back home to your love ones! No social distancing! No mask required ! Come out hold hands, hug, kiss, talk to new friends closely! Then go home and spread the infection! Make America Great Again by killing off

And then they lied and said they were cancelling his two trips due to an abundance of caution. Liars about everything.

America First... hahaha !

So SAD 😭. The poor Secret Service. They are putting their lives on the line to, protect the V.P. in Phoenix prior to his arrival. Now they are left in Phoenix with a positive Covid tests. Remind you of anything else? Secret Service in Tulsa, for Trump rally, Covid positive.

Come on, pass it on to the big orange guy so he can be stifled!!

Mike. Pence. Sucks. VP

Good job Arizona

Was this why Pence decided mask were necessary?

Tell pence I hope they have enough beds to treat those agents. Contact tracing could help.

Bet that Pency has 'rona now.

How many people at CNN have got it? Yeah you don't have the sack release that

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... nobody coulda seen it coming?

POTUS and VP, the two Idiots in Chief, are sacrificing SS agents like there’s an infinite supply. It’s probably safer being Kim Jong Un’s taste tester. They should just go back to the trumpbunker and stay there.

This what you voted for.

there are already 131000 deaths and you tell in the news it are 129.000 deaths ?

They spreading the virus and are pride about it

Does anyone think Trump or Pence GAF about these great men stuck after being put in harms way by the asinine rally ?

CNN HATES PRAYER

Why are we trusting anybody who works for trump..surgeon general want even say its unsafe to be in a large crowd without a mask for fear of being fired by his president..cant trust none of them..not fauci none of them.They all fear trump..

I thought Covid was a liberal hoax?!?

American President and Vice President of STUPIDITY! New norm for those white Americans who support Donald Trump. Attend The Coronavirus Death Rallies! Sponsored bye the Trump campaign!

Nine Secret Service men came down with STD's under Obama when they traveled to France & other European countries.

The country needs 2 people to get sick. anyone guess which 2?

We don’t have leaders in this country, we have losers... wear a mask

Well the 2nd biggest Jack Ass we have is now wearing a MASK. Only because HE'S just thinking of HIMSELF for MOTIVATION. He folks don't forget also said the TRUMP VIRUS was UNDER CONTROL. 129,000 dead over 2.7 million with the VIRUS. Horrible people just Horrible. Also FAKE VP
