Vice President Pence removes his mask as he arrives at the lectern to speak to the U.S. Public Health Service at its headquarters in Rockville, Md., on Tuesday.Vice President Pence removes his mask as he arrives at the lectern to speak to the U.S. Public Health Service at its headquarters in Rockville, Md., on Tuesday.
The latest message comes as coronavirus cases in states in the South and West continue to rise. It also comes on the same day that Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the task force, warned that the U.S., which is seeing 40,000 new coronavirus cases a day, could more than double that figure if the public fails to heed guidelines.Despite that surge, Pence insisted:"We're in a much better place than four months ago, even two months ago.
The Trump administration has been criticized for mixed messaging on masking, with President Trump himself mostly declining to wear one. Pence said the president had"worn a mask in public," and he praised the administration's work on testing and supplies. Even so, GOP lawmakers have also been pushing the mask message. Tennessee Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander on Tuesday said the president should start wearing a mask, at least some of the time, to set a good example.
A bit late, with 128,000+ deaths. This administration is a joke!
About time this presidency starts showing that care about the American people and start doing something about this virus. They certainly haven't done anything as of yet but try to deny it exists. Now increase testing
Politics aside - this is a step in the right direction for once.
Mother said it was ok.
POTUS VP Get with the program!
Seems like the message is that the trump campaign finally realizes that only his base disagrees with masks and that if they don’t try and look like they’re taking this seriously they have no chance of winning....
thereby this action admitting he has been willing participant in the spreading of Covid19 the whole 4 months and at his age what other progress and problems needing to be solved is he resistant to?
How can you change your tune so fast. Word is you are next to be fired by your boss.
Should have done this months ago. Someone just give realDonaldTrump an orange mask and maybe he’ll wear it because no one will be able to tell.
Maybe he should tell that to adolf trumpler first... LOL
This reality TV show is really lame...
Man that conspiracy by the Democrats really has legs. Now they’ve even got Pence? It was one thing when they convinced the entire globe to fake a pandemic in order to get Biden elected, but this is a whole other level.
Where are you taking this country with your hate of culture and religion and love toward left left , a little bit away from being completely a communism or Marxism in the name of socialism or Democrats and in the shadow of liberalism?
Hmmmm, I think I recall certain people bashing a certain presidential candidate about how silly he looked in a mask. Not so silly now I guess
Finally. What was the magic number?
FINALLY!
He’s no leader
Well, well, the ultimate “follower” finally supports masks. This is so clearly the result of POLITICAL pressure. Forget it, Pence. No one sees you as a leader.
A little LATE
Seconds after Dr. Fauci thought the cameras were off, off came the mask.
FINALLY THANK YOU. We will deal with your negligence at the polls
You about 5 months late dude
Not til after the finessed everybody
After some month, it s very cleaver 😅
VP lead by example dingus
After how many people have died?
I wonder if he’d be doing this is Trump was leading in the polls. 🤔
Lol, a bit fucking late?
How about Uncle Donny?
hmmm... perhaps if they had done this in feb/march?
Are we giving him some kind of credit for this? It’s June 30th and 130,000 Americans are dead. TrumpLiesAmericansDie PenceLies TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump
If trump is to survive he has to have Pence pardon him, and Pence will have to become President due to trump either stepping down or Pence declaring him unfit. Pence has the power to pardon everyone. Don't think this isn't being discussed now.
Too little too late
He finally listened.
Too little, wayyyyyy too late. ArrestTrumpNow AmericaStrongWithBiden
To little to late.
Too fucking late I might add! 😡🤬
LordDampNut is about to fire him... he better be careful! Lollol
Americans should stop allowing hundreds of thousands of protesters violating every social-distancing recommendation to prevent the spread
Maybe now folks will listen 🥴😷
Too little, too late. No credit for doing this now, when the poo pooed it in the beginning. Wonder what changed his tune?
😂 oh now you want to speak up.....you late!
we know, thanks for catching up
The only reason he’s wearing a mask is because the GOP have finally realized their message of greed, hatred, fear, and white supremacy is losing traction among independent voters.
VP we weren't forget how the leader of the task force and his friends lied about the virus, leading to unnecessary deaths.
How does the saying go? 4 months late and 120,000 lives short?
DR. FAUCI SAID : MASKS DON'T WORK. SO....SIT.
Too little to late?
Just in time.
Welcome to the party dum dum. Mike_Pence VP
ABOUT TIME!
It’s said that this is news. This should be the expectation
But then he doesn't stress it at rallies and services? HYPOCRITE!
don-the-con trump is NOT: honorable, lawyer, religious, Republican, Patriot, brave, compassionate, minister, MD, x-military, CFA, historian, patriot, literate, CPA, diplomat, honest, TAX PAYER, chemist, trustworthy, farmer, FAITHFUL husband, law&order president, psychologist.
They were waiting for the presidential silkscreen to be ironed on Was back order...
Well I guess some people learn at different paces.
Wearing a mask isn't all that bad. . A little harder to smoke my weed but I'll do it. .
Open by Easter, poof it'll be gone
Lol five months late ..... what a fukn numbskull this guy is
So they’ve finally come around? It would have been helpful for pence to say this a couple of months ago. Too late !
Get a mask, wear a mask, clean the mask rinse repeat.
Well, that only took 3.5 months!
After walking around maskless for months. Thanks.
only 4 months too late.
Finally, a real and clear message!
This reminds me of Constantine converting to Christianity on his deathbed... Trump/Pence are going to lose.
Did his puppet strings get caught up in it?
Thanks, Mike!
It is very late...and i m waiting for Trump to fire him...if he have any rights to do that
i thought he said we had this under control...
To little to late.
And it only took 5 months...
Oh please. Spare us all the fake dramatics 🙄
the lone warrior indeed
Now would realDonaldTrump please do the same? That’d about fix it. Like, immediately.
F-ing FINALLY- 130k dead Americans and his dear “leader” still wallowing in his ignorance w no blowback by the gop to save American lives
Effin took em long enough. Incompetent fools.
waiting for the drumpf tweet calling pence a traitor
It only takes ~100k dead Americans to fuel the cogs of pragmatism
My body my choice
Too little too late closet boy
In the accompanying photo the Caption probably read 'Now, they told me how to put this damm thing on, how was that? I cannot wait to go home.'
Just wear a mask out of respect...I know it's inconvenient.
Don't tell Trump, he might fire Mike!
Months too late, you pseudo-religious meat puppet.
Yea, way too late
So now the only person not wearing a mask in government is Trump?
How long do we wear masks to stop the spread? How do you “stop” the spread of a virus for which we have no vaccine?
Nevertheless, a sycophant.
Only took 130,000 dead.
Wearing masks is communism!!! Trump2020
Finally, he’s taking a stance on something 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Okay. And now test everyone.
How it must pain him to state the obvious.
