Vice President Mike Pence has defended Donald Trump Jr. after his controversial comments about how Democrats have responded to the Trump administration's handling of the coronavirus

Democrats have criticized President Donald Trump and other government agencies over a lack of preparedness, with some going as far to say the administration is downplaying the seriousness of the virus.

"Rep. Ted Lieu called for Pence, who was appointed to oversee the coronavirus reponse, to resign from his role for defending Trump's son's"shameful comments.""Dear @VP Pence: You need to resign from your coronavirus position with your shameful defense of shameful comments," the California Democrat tweeted Sunday. Former Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday slammed the Trump administration's response. "We knew that this was coming. Back as far as January.

dumb and dumbber.

What else is new ?

There was no controversial statement and nothing to defend. Keep trying like always, you will still fail in this one.

You need to have your eyes wide open pence if not you will fall too

Placing this ludite in charge of a problem requirering belief in science is one definition of insanity.

Defends? No try Fed up with cnn Bull Shit

Another person confirmed dead in US and the President’s son demonizes Democrats blaming them for a virus that is not partisan. Pence should’ve denounced it and stay focused on helping the scientists instead and getting more kits out there for testing.

Really, and he calls himself a “Christian”?

Which response,m? I recall Schumer crying racism when he said shut down the border then, he deleted it. Y’all are pathetic

As he should. Then again CNN itself is the Dem / Soros network

My boy ....

“Controversial comments” ... the President is correct.

He could rape a child and you would defend him. Oh yea you have.

Spiteful, willful stupidity is itself a virus, and DonaldJTrumpJr is a carrier.

Give it up please!!!! 🙄

VP should act like an adult. He sh be ashamed of this response

Get your chapstick out VP realDonaldTrump

Trump couldn't have chosen worse human beings. My goodness.

Trump jr is a spoiled excuse of a human being..poster boy for birth control

They are just deflecting that they are not prepared for a lot of people to get the virus. Trump, his son, and their cronies are soul-sucking human beings.

Good bless America and bless everyone who comment and like on here . I promise to follow back 🙏🏻❤️!!!

Listen to Bill Maher saying “it would be worth it” in ref. to destroying the stock market, just to get Trump out of office. Read some Democratic Tweets. The hate for Pres. Trump is more than the responsibility to the American people.

Why do you people bother to have them on the show, knowing they'll lie and deflect, disgusting

Mr. Vice President thank you for your service! Now please resign and go away forever!

Breaking news: Pete Buttigieg is suspending his 2020 presidential campaign

FakeNews

thought they have been together since always

Fake News

He didn’t answer the question! Kept humming his way out of it! That was horrible statement to make! How stupid of him! He should be ashamed! Also Pence should be ashamed! In trying to defend that dumb dumb!

And?

All any citizen wants is competence. And you are completely lacking

The media and DemoRATS are using this virus in an effort to keep Trump from being re elected ! When trump tried to restrict travel the Dems moved to block his efforts. Now he had wisdom as our forefathers who made folks have a health check on elis island before being admitted.

There is nothing remotely dignified or worthy of the White House by these imposters traitors and turds

We will never come together as long as trump is president and the gop insists on being the party for white supremacists.

Birds of a feather flock together. DonaldJTrumpJr is just as bad a liar as his dad and VP.

We should come together now and find a cure to this coronavirus. It's time we put aside our differences

VP is scared to death he will be replaced. And he is an asslicker.

Vote Blue!!

VP god will take care of you…

Obsequious Pence, the toady.

Donald Trump Jr . Was right

CNN Nothing but fake news and obsessed with trump and all the feat he does, keep ensuring Trump 2020 landslide

Controversial? A sitting congressman threatened to beat up Don JR. Was that not even more controversial?

To not have tests out to states already in mass quantities should be criminal.

Criminal..People are worried and distressed and this administration keeps weaving and bobbing and blaming everyone for their missteps.

Idiot...

Ok, Mike. We'll all come together. That includes [gasp] the gays and single women. Right? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

Why is Mike Pence even talking about Donald Trump Jr.? That's a serious question. He is a private business owner, who cares what he has to say about anything....

I suppose my commute would be shorter in the mornings with less people driving on the roads. 🤔

👎🏻

They’re not controversial, just true.
