Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that he should have worn a mask during his visit to the Mayo Clinic last week when he toured the renowned medical facility without one despite their policy requiring it.
Citing how often he's been tested for the virus, Pence said during a Fox News town hall,"I didn't think it was necessary but I should have worn the mask at the Mayo Clinic."The concession comes after a mask-less Pence thanked workers, conferred with hospital administrators and spoke with a Mayo Clinic employee who was donating plasma at the facility.
You did not need to understand!you already had the vaccine!everyone around you was wearing masks .. 😏
He didn’t think action was necessary during the HIV crisis in Scott County, IN either....
He could have stopped at “I didn’t think”, his normal excuse and state of mind.
Better late than never NOT.One of the ear marks of the realDonaldTrump administration is to constantly do or say stupid shit lies when caught say oops I am sorry... I was only joking about injecting Lysol enough already with this nonsense,actions create consequences life
He should have out of respect for everyone else that was there and did
PENCE FLUNKED SECOND GRADE 👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼
if he was told 2 wear one HE SHOULD OF but like he said he was tested JUST like Martha & Bret last night said they can sit close with no mask cause they were tested Went DR OTHER DAY TESTED ME & NURSE WORE GLOVES as should SAID good WE GET TESTED SOON WE ARRIVED WERE GOOD ALSO
Too late. If it was there, you got it.
The arrogance of not wearing a mask. Didn't he notice everyone else wore a mask. Arrogance bastard.
Whose fault is it when the hospital does not enforce their policy?
Fake ward, fake patent!
Shoulda coulda woulda...he thought he was better than they are...nope mr pence you’re not
But mother said he didn't know.
He has Moronavirus.
He addressed this in the Town Hall. Besides it’s not a huge threat anymore, you didn’t get the info from the CDC? Plus they lowered US covid deaths to 37,308 as of May 1st. Isn’t that great news! My state is opening today in phase 1. ☺️ Happy dance 💃🏻 coronavirus FakeNews
Gigantic lapses in judgment are not permissible when you are the vice president of the United States. It's that simple.
Too little too late
They probably had everyone tested before he would come for a tour
Really
No shit Sherlock 😷
If you think that wearing a mask was unnecessary, you really have no business in the corona virus task force. In fact you should resign and stay away as far as possible. Unbelievable.. Trump and his stupid cronies. TrumpIsAnIdiot TrumpIsACompleteFailure
💡
Hello Sir. You are one of the Government official of whom people are looking up to for an example. You should have worn the face mack.
Moron.
CNN=Communist News Network Vice President Mike Pence you did NOTHING Wrong!! They just wanted you to help push their 'FEAR' Narrative! LOVE You VP Pence = Trump 2020
“Mother said I shouldn’t wear it that day”
This thing was staged and controlled. A mask would be a show. It really technically wouldn’t have made a difference.
Science. It’s not necessary. Cloth masks do almost nothing.
Blah blah blah
So I guess everyone else in the photo are just dopes huh? Smh I’m sure they offered him one at the onset of the tour. Trump gaslighting has dulled Pence’s political acuity.
fool
Good for him. How nice, a gentleman. He apologized. Move on.
Such a fool.
Hahaha.....
So I guess he realized he can still look people in the eye with a mask on Haha.
Now Pence need to French kiss Trump.
Pence the most wooden politician in living history.
He has been vaccinated long ago, so he is not afraid of infection!
He says that now!😒🙄
On this issue I'd sooner follow Vladimir than Boris.
It was quite irresponsible but at least someone knows how to admit they did something wrong and not blame a doctor for not forcing him to wear one.
Chinese News Network... follow the WHO ... even though they lied to us, at least their mask info is right....a little too much but you diks will slam the VP if he gives flowers to his wife..FakePandemic ThinkForYourself cnnfakenews EnemyOfThePeople
Like everything him and trump do it’s to late now!🤡🤡🤡🤡
Yes VP Pence you should have worn a mask!!! Duh 🙄
I think he should’ve worn PPE but how does this qualify as “breaking news” a week later. Seriously who cares when we’ve got more important things to deal with?
The End! Now lets not discuss it for 3 fucking weeks.
Ego and recklessness is fairly entrenched in this government
Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve, blah, blah, blah
He knows the cure which is for specific people among which he is one....
Leaders care about the safety of others and follow rules - liars and ass kissers just apologize for putting people at risk after the fact. We know which one you are VP
hes so stupid
Shoulda coulda woulda...he is still a dumb as* to me
SHAME ON YOU.MASK.
Fake news propaganda
Narcissists and arrogant officials who think they are superhuman and immune to covid refuse to wear masks, are in fact just insecure LOSERS* that feel the need to prove themselves. SAD*. (*trump vocab)
Buona notte 😘💤😴 sogni d’oro ❤️🇺🇸🙏
Too little too late
Pence did not wear a mask for one reason only, he knew Trump would be watching. They are both idiots ! Arrrr so maddening to see such arrogance.
CNN is Fake News
dumb af VP we have
So he feels he's above the law. Good to know
The mask is to protect others in case you have COVID-19. What Pense was trying to say is, 'If I have it, I don't give a shit if I give it to you.'
Also ChrisCuomo acknowledged he shouldn’t have embellished his Covid19 symptoms for tv ratings. His Easter Sunday spent outside with family directly contradicted his self isolation statements confined in his basement.”I saw an opportunity to enhance my personal brand and lied.”
Ваши твитты очень полезны для меня
Oh & his 1st clue to that was
i’m sure he has PLENTY of protective KKK hoods he could’ve brought with him to avoid this potentially hazardous situation
Pence needs this
Duh, should have worn a mask. What an idiot!
The biggest threat was to himself.
Not wearing a mask was disrespectful and arrogant
He admitted a mistake. I can honor that.
DUH. Fricken Jerk.
Ignorant VP. pure ignorance, would he go into a Syrian war zone in a string vest?
Trump 2020
Nobody knew pandemics were so complicated!
Great example of what not to do.
Well, I'll give him a little credit for admitting it (albeit after lots of bad publicity). Trump would have never admitted it.
First of all? Fox News isn’t a town.
I guarantee you, the Mayo Clinic offered him a mask. He turned it down.
If it's policy, then why did the clinic even allow him to enter without a mask? This is the problem, rules get bent when it's for people in power, and this is what aggravates the common man

translation: I'm an idiot because Trump doesn't like masks so I wanted to be just like him and not wear one... but everybody is telling me now that I'm an idiot... exactly...
I didn't see President Trump's Town Hall on your channel. You must have trolls following him. Not a News Channel Entertainment Only
You know what else VP should do? Apologize to the reporter he tried to punish for reporting this. This is the USA, FFS.
Ummm you think?
I’m a sad sugar daddy who needs someone to care for him and love him ,Someone to make him happy and in return I take care of her needs...DM if you're interested
CNN’s going to pretend their so-called experts weren’t telling you to not wear a mask
Atleast pence can admit when he screws up.
couse he knows Billy G may get mad .....
Translation: Trump told me not to and he’s f’ing insane
Ya think?!!!!
So this is your 11th time posting this today, you trying to break a record there, CNN?
Wow CNN, this is your breaking news 🤦🏼♂️
Thats just one on the checklist of should have's
Lol
Oh ok so why did he got a staff for then? His entourage must hate him that much to not let him know that he should wear a mask.
Не круто..
There is no doubt that all the White House staff are vaccinated, immuned from covid-19.
So he went from not wearing a mask to be able look people in the eye. Next he was not informed about the policy. Except, everyone else had a mask on. It never occurred to him that maybe he should have a mask? Now, he says he should have worn a mask.
OMG! This CNN Breaking News item is shameful, totally ridiculous..
SO WHY DIDNT HE Being like Trump...I can do whatever I want...I don't want to take the test because I know I don't have it
They shouldn't have let him in, it could've been done with or without tact but dumb dumb should've known better
I wish you quickly recovery
Well he is wearing one now let's move on to more positive news?
GO find a different horse to beat.... You think this virus is the most important thing in motion ..... WE ARE ON THE BRINK of war in about theaters... Take the hook out of your mouth(s) and pay attention to what is really threatening the US.
... dangerous and disrespectful. how the hell is he a VP of the united states? TrumpIsThePlague
Breaking news?
Gilead donated millions to NIAID, where Fauci is Director NIAID funded $3.7 mil to the Wuhan lab where virus leaked When virus gets to US, Fauci is a top leader in the task force and he suddenly introduces Gilead who has THE 'BEST' TREATMENT! That is NOT a coincidence.
Fauci is behind COVID19. In 2019, with NIAID, the NIH committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included some gain-of-function work. The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project for collecting and studying bat coronaviruses
Glaring at this picture of Pence as HE IS THE ONLY ONE without a mask😷 now say he should have worn a mask during his visit to the MayoClinic — YOU THINK!! VPMikePence VicePresident CoronavirusPandemic Covid_19 COVID19 coronavirus
A little late for that!
An epiphany? VP
I'm concerned weres fredo
At least Pence can own up to a mistake, unlike the Dictator-In-Chief.
no shit sherlock
Here's my statement. I enjoy my freedom. If you want me to wear a mask in your establishment that's your right. But don't invite me in then. Mike_Pence
'regret' but zero 'remorse'. 1. It was a guideline from government. 2. A policy of the hospital and 3. Everyone else he came with put on one but him. hehe am sorry USA even KagutaMuseveni can run your country better now. hehehe
DUH!
I just pray for the tens of thousands of people dead because of his recklessness. God help us.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence = Dumb and Dumber!
I’ll take that as a sorry
And his wife lied for him
Too little too late. Think about his irresponsible behavior. He could have killed someone.
Did he know then what he knows now? YES.. HE LIED...
Too late, he proved his point to the gullible evangelicals (unless his fate changes)
BREAKING NEWS: Reporting the Obvious is NOT News!!!
....and now people feel emboldened to shoot someone over being told to wear a mask...
He should be fined $10 million and donate to a charity that dont have any affiliation to his name
So is he sorry he's a moron? A small child could have figured it out but the obvious escapes him?
Why? Is he infected now?
No shit.
Isn't he in charge of some sort of task force or something?
Too late. We already know he’s self absorbed. He’s been proving that for years and years.
Strong policy there at MayoClinic when apparently no one said “we require a mask, VP”
Ya think? Thank you Captain Obvious. What a maroon.
He's the head of the coronavirus task force! He needed to be told (which he was) to wear a mask? What a bunch of crap. He's obviously has no respect for what this virus is doing and can do
orangeclown
our vice president and COVID-19 Task Force leader everyone thank you thank you (🙄)
These republicans and their jokes!
I am so damn sick of hearing about how pence didn’t wear a mask.
F*coming bozo.
Fucking Sherlock.
Otro!
He also should not have traveled! Safer at home. Let the Clinic do what they do. Not bend over to accommodate him.
Woulda coulda shoulda VP you knew that going in but didn’t care. You only care now because of all the rightfully earned and deserved negative comments & press. Own it
Fuck it, WHO CARES?
You people at CNN are a disturbing group of people.
No shit....it’s called “ leadership by example”. He can ask his Marine Officer son what that means . Mike_Pence
