Meet the Press anchor Chuck Todd pressed Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday to name some names after the veep groused that there was irresponsible rhetoric from Democrats on the coronavirus, with Todd further telling Pence that it feels like Team Trump is gaslighting the public.
Pence, who was recently tapped by President Donald Trump to lead the administrations response to the coronavirus crisis, made the rounds on the Sunday news shows to promote the administrations efforts. After reassuring viewers during his Meet the Press appearance that the risk of contagion remains low for Americans, Pence was then questioned on complaints by the president and his allies that Democrats are rooting for the virus.
Noting that Pence has gone out of his way to call on everyone to not politicize the outbreak, Todd went on to play a series of clips from conservatives claiming Democrats are weaponizing the virus to seek political gain. The montage also included the presidents son Donald Trump Jr. insisting that Dems want millions of people killed in order to stop Trumps streak of winning.
None of this seems to match the facts, Todd said. What facts are there that Democrats are doing this?
Seems like people are asking questions, and they're concerned about the virus. This, this implies some sort of political motivation, which is kind of gross.
