Where Is Your Mask Pence?

[DanieRains]

The Mayo Clinic has a rule. Everyone in the building must wear a mask, for many reasons.

Mike Pence visited the Mayo Clinic and refused to wear a mask.

They should have refused him entry.

He thinks he's "special".

It makes me want to puke.

He is a special type of murderous scum.

1. He's a potted plant

2. Does he think...

That only the base sees what he is doing there? That was not an act of stupidity, it was presented as a saintly, washed in the blood of Jesus moment and a shout out to the AstroTurf protests. The message is also a subtle, COVID-19?, "What, me worry?"

The believers will have their confirmation bias tanks filled by it

They play the game all the time these days.

3. Mother will be upset

4. Mayo clinic tweet says they informed Pence of mask policy, tweet now deleted

8. That annoys me no end that they deleted that tweet.

We seem to be inches away from totalitarian rule.

What has happened to us?

9. Whoever allowed him to go on that ward without a mask MUST resign

That is all

[get the red out]

5. Can't show doubt in GAWD

A mask would be to doubt the protection of GAWD for an extremist like Pence, who sees himself as extremely important to GAWD.

He should probably give Boris Johnson a call to see how this behavior worked out for him though.

6. "Who was that unmasked man with the silver bullshit?"

7. CNN shouldn't be hammering on this

Weak criticisms cast a veil of doubt over the strong ones.

Anybody who gets tested as frequently as him or Trump and has a private security detail can walk around without a mask.

We should move on.

[cwydro]

10. Disagree.

Sets a very poor example.

[Shermann]

12. Fair point, but in the case of CNN it's gotcha journalism

This can't possibly be front page news. I like CNN, I'm watching it right now.

But they pull this crap too often.

[malaise]

11. Huh!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

[Shermann]

14. NBC ran it too

Just baffling to me.

Fauci was targeted with this same gotcha question not that long ago as you may recall.

He had little difficulty brushing it off.

[jcgoldie]

15. Gotcha journalism!

So mean CNN shame on you... next they'll be asking Sarah Palin what papers she reads...

Nice right wing talking point!

[Shermann]

16. Couric taught us something about Sarah Palin

What exactly did we learn from the Pence mask "story" that we didn't already know?

False equivalences are a tool of the right wing, not my mild critiques.

[GemDigger]

13. He special.

A couple of Hail Marys' and a splash of holy water on him before he walks out the door makes it so he will never get it.
