This is the truth when they don’t lie to your face. The White House is not even trying to control de pandemic. Unbelievable incompetence and cruelty

Research Aerosol Virus Educate ourselves on everything Past/present/future Take precautionary measures to protect our families/communities/selves Pray for a Safe effective vaccine Be patient until one arrives Complaining is ineffective. Vote/healthcare/Science observer ❤️ a Mom

Who is the criminal now?GOP

It would be interesting if it could be determined how many people end up getting infected from the Republican super spreader events

At least Christie understands the dangers of the virus and that it can be spread to others.

Hello they are all in on this. I mean look at the months of evidence. It's just crazy. Then Trump and his china bank account. It's all there. We need to keep our selves safe. Only God can Save us. Tupac Shakur

We can’t control the pandemic but WE can control our response. For the fact that we are willing to live with it instead of taking measures to curb the spread is a ridiculous abdication of leadership by Republicans. The white flag is up and Republicans are ready to sacrifice YOU!

VP is essential if you are a fly looking for a place to land.

Because he's a garbage human

These people are just dumb!

Translation: Don't feel bad if you're not wearing a mask, socially distancing, or living life as usually. This is a force beyond our control, feel free to spread it.

Let them be. Let’s see what happens.

Winning an election is more important to Pence than the health and safety of the people he wants to represent.

Nobody ever accused Pence of being very bright.

Doing his part to push for herd immunity

😂

Mark Meadows is now speaking the truth which this Administration was and IS up TO, 🇺🇸 citizens...WAKE UP...VOTE THE INCOMPETENCE OUT!! THERE WONT BE US IF WE DONT., EVEN AFTER SEEING THIS TRUTHFULNESS FROM ADMIN. SAVE US, 🇺🇸 FROM THIS CHAOS. THEY JUST ABANDONED US DURING CRISIS

They all need to be quarantined a risk to others spreading Covid 19

Less tests shoulda fixed that little inconvenience ...... what happened?

Good grief, that’s a telling admission that they are not going to try to control the pandemic. God help America.

God gave his staff COVID because she hates hypocrisy

People like this in the government is what Republicans are afraid of ; people who think they are kings and invulnerable and do whatever they want

99.3% survival rate!

I guess when you failed to protect America and it’s in everyone’s backyard & on many peoples kitchen tables you might as well say “fuck it” & disregard all public health guidelines. VoteThemAllOut

You could have COVID 19, but your still going to go out to the rallies. I hope for those who contract this virus from you or your staff, you rally around them. But you won’t. You say your religious, religious people have passion, not the desire to kill.

”He's not just campaigning, he's spreading”

Mass murderer

Daddy told him he’s immune but it’s ok to go out and infect people. Someone told him about herd immunity. But of course he’s too stupid to understand what it is. And really doesn’t care. As long as he finds a way to cheat his way to stay in office

They were trying to hide the positives. I guarantee they would of let Short campaign with Covid. They don’t care about their voters

🤦🏽‍♀️🙄 careless

If you can’t beat em , Kill them or make them too infected to vote . That’s their sick plan .

They all are crazy with Trump.

Sounds like criminal negligence to me.

Republican for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

They’re trying to kill people.
