MOTHER TO THE RESCUE! Karen Pence tells Fox that Mike "didn't know masks were required" at Mayo.



https://www.rawstory.com/2020/04/karen-pence-tells-fox-news-that-mike-pence-didnt-know-masks-were-required-at-mayo-clinic/''

“It was actually after he left Mayo Clinic that he found out that they had a policy of asking everyone to wear a mask,” she said. “Someone has worked on this whole task force for over two months is not someone who would have done anything to offend anyone or scare anyone. I’m glad that you gave me the opportunity to talk about that.”

Sure.
Yeah.
Nobody mentioned it.
And he didn't notice everyone else wearing them.
And he'd never heard that masks are recommended.
And Trump was being sarcastic. (That one added by my husband, who's listening to me groan about this.)

Mayo tweeted the mask requirement. Mayo told Mikey about the mask requirement. After his visit Mikey acknowledged the mask requirement and told why he ignored it.

Mother, Mikey is going to have to put on his big boy pants.

Hey Mother, why was everyone in Pence's entourage wearing masks? Why were all the doctors, staff and patients wearing them? Why, when asked about not wearing a mask by the media, did your husband say it was because he had tested negative?

and Where they should be worn crops up nearly every.single.day. They’re a hot topic these days.

But I guess when the Big Boss tells everyone he does not intend to wear one, you already know who gets the final say on whether Mikey will wear one.

Sucks to be you, doesn’t it Mikey.

Christian innocence as a political crutch, eh. Even worse viewed using the teachings of God. Thy shall not bear false witness, thy shall not lie, etc.

Even if Pence wasn't told about the requirement about wearing masks, as a leader, shouldn't he have stepped up and worn the mask, to inspire others? Of course he didn't. True to form, both he and trump are pathetic examples of the American spirit.

This tells me that he is as stupid as the man who gave him that responsibility.

This has been nothing but a shitshow since day one.
