msnbc just showed mike pence at 3M where they make the masks doing a photo op.

It's all optics with very little substance


From left, Gov. Tim Walz, 3M CEO Mike Roman, Vice President Mike Pence and Dr. Deborah Birx, the coronavirus response coordinator, met at 3M in Maplewood on Thursday morning.

Most docs have been saying masks are ineffective for prevention. At least anything consumer grade and affordable

as if the houseplants mere presence there will suddenly calm peoples fears.

this fucking idiot was shaking hands with people who were exposed to the virus and later proved to be infected.

so is the factory now contaminated because of this fucking stupid houseplant?

the regular face masks aren't an effective deterrent against this virus so why is a govt leader promoting a company who makes them?

Maybe Pence has 3M in his investment portfolio and he's just their to safeguard his financial interests. Trump was touting the need for investors, trying to capitalize on the fears and suffering of victims in his greed for profits.

This is all Pence is good for, more staged photo ops and grinning while mouthing Trump's lies and propaganda.
