"We have to act and people and individuals need to act responsibly," he said."We need to social distance, we need to wear face coverings if we are in settings where we cannot social distance, particularly in these hot zones."
President Donald Trump has generally refused to wear a mask in public settings, though he did wear oneThe Trump administration's waffling stance on face-coverings has drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle. "The President should be an example. You know, real men wear masks," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on ABC's"This Week" Sunday."Be an example to the country and wear the mask. ... It's not about protecting yourself, it's about protecting others and their families."
"Right now, we are in an urgent national mission, or should be, to mask up," Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a Democrat, said on"Face the Nation.""And the fact is that Donald Trump is for masking up like George Wallace was for integration." with CBS Pittsburgh affiliate KDKA on Thursday, former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, said,"The one thing we do know, these masks make a gigantic difference."Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., tweeted a photo of her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, on Friday wearing a cowboy hat and mask along with the caption"Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK. #realmenwearmasks.
Too late
Wow! Only when COVID-19 is affecting Republican areas does the leadership encourage wearing masks. I hope their supporters in these areas know how much their beloved leader placed their lives at risk. VoteThemAllOut2020
Only 100,000+ deaths before he utters those words
So there's a particle of 'undeniable fact' surfacing in the mind of Mr Pence that a growing stack of casualties and deaths caused by a breath carried airborne coronavirus could be slowed by wearing a mask? Perhaps, if the virus of undeniable fact grows, there's still hope for us.
It’s almost like they’re contradicting themselves now
For 6 months Pence had his head up trumps ass, NOW he does what's right!🤯🤣😆😂 better late than never I guess
This late, it's like encouraging a pregnant woman to use an IUD
You’re still going down Pence!!
The gop is gonna drop Trump and put in Pence.
flmark94 I encourage VP to be honest and forthright in telling us the truth about the bounties on American citizens ignored by his and Trump's administration.
He, the worrisome one!
Too late
Hallelujah VP pence wore a mask
And then he has a choir sing to him (who look older than 60) without masks on.
Hypocrite....100 person choir just performed at his recent evert...WITHOUT MASKS!!!!!!
I guess he smells blood in the water.
Wow just 3 months into mass shutdown... What a leader...
You are a joke!
He finally got some balls.
Trying to savve face .......
Oh NOW we can wear a mask. This administration has no clue of what is happening.
Suddenly, he promotes masks?
So like, the whole country?
Finally, but too late!
He’s only wearing a mask when realDonaldTrump is not around
Ok..we will listen to u..not!
Hahahahah the White House reality show just gets better and better
This just makes me wish Trump would walk into a bar in Texas, Arizona or Florida. A big crowded bar. With poorly circulated air.
You served alongside Senator Robert Byrd, a known democratic KKK member and said nothing. YouAintBlackBiden
But he was fine not wearing one at the Mayo Clinic? Please set a better example as the head of the Coronavirus task force. VP
Nah. I'm good with thoughts and prayers. That should do it.
Oh, NOW YOU THINK WE SHOULD !!!!!
Begrudgingly. I saw his response. It wasn't like he was all excited about it.🙄
Well, I suppose it helps that this one actually believes in Hell.
He doesn't wear the mask all day long.
This is a joke, right?
Lol I want to see Trump with a mask
10 years later lol
He's hoping trumpy pulls a Nixon and resigns.
Wait, what happened to thoughts an prayers
He is wearing a mask to hide his chapped lips from kissing Trump’s ass.
rqui Ah little late to the party scooter
rqui It’s about time. He didn’t say to wear masks at the press conference I saw on Friday.
rqui Too late, buddy. Nice try though.
NOW a warning!!! Way too little way too late StephMillerShow
rqui Common Sense should be a required course in school.
Hypocrite!!
rqui WHAT? I just read that he won’t even say the word “mask”. Weird...
He’s scared.
Too fake, too much pandering, too late, too little! Fake, we know what you truly believe in and we can imagine accurately what you are saying to your followers! So please!
Oops. Too little. Too fucking late vp
While he only wears a mask for photo ops.
Mike, Why don’t you tell them your boss is wrong too. No courage? Afraid? You and your boss will be gone in November. You may be gone even earlier if Haley is willing to be on the ticket. Remember, loyalty is just one way in Trump’s mind!
rqui Except his boss. Ok.
Now you want to wear a mask! Better late than never I guess!
Is golfing synonymous with collusion?
rqui Is not in contrast to trump. Trump simply doesn't wear one.
How about everyone?
rqui
rqui So he finally states what everyone else knew..what a clown 🤡
rqui Fuck that 3 Month late POS
rqui What an INCREDIBLE idea?
rqui Any comments from him about the riots?
Now Pence is telling us to wear a mask? He should apologize for not wearing throughout this pandemic and the false information he spread.
6 months too late for Pence to pretend he cares
Yeah. Noooooow you are saying masks are a good idea.
jeffgoldesq Too late. Horse is out of the barn...............................repent mutherflucker...
VP flip flops it's time for this administration to goes or resigning
The fact that this is news at this point is just sad.
Millions of infections later... after Hundreds of thousands of deaths Thank you VP Thank you realDonaldTrump How many MORE will you sacrifice for your evil deliberate ideology? OnPurposeNotIncompetent
Too little, too late.
This should not be news, but here we are 3 MONTHS TOO LATE.
mrecal Does his finally wearing a mask mean he is COVID positive? If he really now believes the virus is dangerous, why is he still going to our country's hotspots. It's almost like he is daring God to infect him.
Ooh, someone is distancing himself from the IdiotInChief . Like rats off a sinking ship. TrumpFailedAmerica EndTheNightmare
NOW he does! For MONTHS he DIDN’T! He carried water for Trump for 3 1/2 effing years! Don’t normalize this! Pence’s hypocrisy got us into this damn mess. He could have stopped all of it by going to Congress with a 25th Amendment or hell just told them to impeach his ass. VPKnew
In 'areas'? This shit is in all areas doofus!!
Trump resigning?
About 3 months ago VP said normal people don't need face masks. Save the PPE for med-pros. I bolted from home and got the last box they had at CVS.😷
Finally !
Only took 125,000 American deaths. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
dictators dream of having a VP like him. Do as I say, jump, roll, bark, use God, grab them by the... you name it! Sickening! People should put crosses in front of the White House to show this government how many and whom we’ve lost to this virus.
Wow, atleast someone in this administration has shown a tiny bit of leadership
Was this before or after his campaign stump speech in a tax exempt mega church packed to the brim with non mask wearers in TX where the infection rate & death toll is skyrocketing?
Read closely - 'in affected areas'. NO WHERE does he say they should be worn in public all the time!
Thank you. Grow some balls and wear a mask. You aren't helping if you don't
A little to late idiot Mike_Pence
What a sorry coward to come out 'now'. Hit the road ya fake
It's about darn time!
His Mom told him to.
6 months later...
Too little, too late!
that’s not our biggest problem VP! You and your boss were spreading disinformation far faster than the virus. Thousands of people died and still getting sick. Again, there’s still no cure for your STUPIDITY and others that got them.
And it only took 125k dead Americans for them to start taking precautions. I guess god told him to put the mask on finally.
Better late than never! There is still hope in people! People change as they learn from their mistakes. It was nice to listen to a politician who can nicely articulate himself.
Hey what a great idea Mikey. Did you just think of that, or did it come to you when you prayed for a way to keep people safe? TrumpandPencearetoblame
where there are outbreaks ONLY...CT has no cases and no deaths. The virus has run its course here but MASKS EVERYWHERE! We didn't put masks on until after the peak. MSM media and politicians have us all so scared. The CDC says healthy people should not wear masks.
How about just calling it America?
That’s great news
TOO LATE
A democrat says it, the response is “don’t be a sheep.” So where you at conservatives?
This administration is like a person with split personality
Wow, that didn't take long....oh nevermind!! Is this the first photo of him wearing a mask like this Usually I see him spreading his germs around au natural without a mask.
Holy shit how stupid!! A bit late there buddy. Where were you before 125,000 people died
pence is trying to help trump with his slippage in pretty much every poll on key issues. My theory is that if polls keep sliding, trump loses in massive repudiation of him & R’s. After the election he resigns & pence becomes president & pardons trump b4 D’s take over. Prayers.
A little late!
Donnie take him off his leash
Biden did it first... 😂
So NOW - after 128,395 deaths and spikes of COVID-19 throughout red states - NOW Pence, the coronavirus czar, is telling people to do the right thing. Nearly 6 months too late.
Did Dr Fauci twist his arm REAL hard? Or is he trying to save face for his future legacy, post November 2020
Breaking news, 'Toddler shits in toilet after months of training'
Trump's going to give him a spanking.
He should be encouraging anyone who can't socially distance to wear a mask regardless of where they live.
How fucking convenient and interesting. I guess our minds have changed when the virus isn’t in Northern, more liberal areas of the country. Uh oh, hitting TX, AZ, FL and the gop stronghold Shit, masks for everyone!
He'll be fired soon
Day 1: Mike Pence encourages people to wear masks. Day 17: Trump claims MAGA has always promoted masks and the Democrats have always been against his great idea.
Oh now he wears mask
He is subverting his Boss. This is tyranny and he should be punished.
Trump 2020.
Hmmm what made you change your mind?DumpTrump2020 TrumpOut2020
Correction....everyone should be wearing a mask no matter where you are.
He also said that God will heal is.
Amanzing how the Federal gouvernment is tripping over itself to help with the Coronavirus now that it’s in Florida Texas Arizona and other GOP States, NY NJ Michigan etc had to practically beg for help. The day of reckoning is coming this November
Wow. He is wearing a mask. It’s a little late to live by example
I encourage him to grow a pair and tell people to wear them.
that’s not our biggest problem! You were spreading disinformation far faster than the virus. Thousands of people died and still getting sick. Again, there’s still no cure for your STUPIDITY and others that got them!
How about the thousands of people in Chicago.... All packed together? No Covid-19 threat there 🤔
WHY NOW? YOU HAVEN'T BEFORE DID CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS FINALLY SAY SOMETHING SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU BECAME POSITIVE? NOVOTE4REPUBLICANS2020
Tune in next week when he whispers “Black lives....” under his breath.
It’s a start, but disappointed it took this long and not wearing one to a church ( that pays taxes🤔)
Better late than dead?
Shock & Wonder as **Blind Eyes Open!**
It's a little late. Let's not act like he's been doing this all along.
TooLittleTooLate for 125,000 and growing dead Americans.
U.S. intelligence has concluded that Russia offered bounties for dead U.S. troops in Afghanistan, AND has paid out on some of those bounties. And Donald Trump was told in March and so far has opted to have no response. Wow. F-U traitor Wow
If you're not interested in protecting public health, please STAY HOME! Or join those of us wearing masks when we can't social distance & living our lives. Care about others, not only yourself.
FINALLY
tell your stupid boss
Only took him 4 months to say it....
A little late dip shit
That’s literally almost everywhere in the USA.
wcsek Coronavirus is invisible, asymptomatic people are contagious and don’t know it. We are 1 country, everyone should wear a mask. The whole world should til scientists say it’s ok.
