Pence is two things for sure 1. a sycophant and 2. an idiot

'The just shall live by faith'. Romans 1:17 - KJV

That's the thing about leadership - when policy makers don't abide by rules they themselves set, enforcement becomes so much harder to sustain. One thing to come out of this crisis is sight of those that 'do the right thing' rather than those that just 'say the right thing'

He probably knows the very truth about COVID

What a pos that pence

he's ahead of the game guys

That’s a reactive approach. Prevention required

A study of the arrogance of power.

Where are the fake news people at, they will probably say the mask was photoshopped out, or the virus is fake or that’s not mike pence. 🤡🤡🤡

Just like Mamta Banarjee

Very alien like behaviour

Very hypocritical. He should of worn a face mask to set a standard for everyone. But he probably does not want to wear one because of his IMAGE. The media can't see his full face when he visit. Someone should tell him he can still catch Covid 19.

COVIDIOTS

because he and the trump are too smart. I hope they get corona. so you know how it feels for the struggle of the doctors and nurses. for his followers! you are stupid

It’s selfish no matter how you look at it

Wow!

Regular vaccine!

Well

sold out on amazon and stockpile low

DeniseS29 Maybe the Mayo clinic has patients who are susceptible to other diseases, and think masks help those patients. Geez, Pence, when you visit a hospital, take the steps they ask of you!

if everyone else is wearing a mask, then he is actually pretty safe!

did he drink disinfectant?

And this is supposed to be one of our 'leaders' 🤦🏾‍♂️....unbelievable

Thid is FUCKED UP! So much for “mandatory”

He’s taken that many stabbings inside his nostrils!? The test looks excruciatingly painful.

He is putting himself at risk at the very most. Not anyone else. the optics aren't good however.

A lot of Americans don't have access to PPE, so Pence opts out of it. Called being a leader

I see you drew a nice picture where you circled everyone in red if they recently tested negative and therefore can't spread a disease they don't have.

I don’t care much for pence, but he gets a point there from me

Trim and Pence have d vaccine I have proof.

Oh the test is the cure. Makes perfect sense.

Why did I think Pence had a tad more sense than Trump?

This is me everywhere I go. The only sane person.

He's selfish and dumb! It's not about HIM. What if he has no symptoms? Idiot! Maybe he injected himself with Lysol and that's why he feels superior! Smh!!

Must be nice to have testing available seemingly at will.

So confident because at the back-end they have the vaccine that they don't want to share until their recession cover-up is over.

Missing the whole point. Protect others AND self.

Set the example. It’s called leadership.

Imagine if this amount of coverage went into something more important.

Pence is an idiot too.

Brother Pence's response to the landslide of criticisms: How can I see the other if I wear a mask?

So regular testing is the vaccine

I hope he and Mother get it.

great! he should keep not wearing a mask

Idiot 🤮🤮🤮🤮
