Mike Pence shuns coronavirus mask rule on Mayo Clinic visit

Mike Pence triggered a storm of controversy on Tuesday by failing to wear a face mask on a visit to the Mayo Clinic’s facilities in Minnesota. Pence leads the US government’s coronavirus taskforce, but his staff have claimed he does not need to wear the protective covering because he is regularly tested for the coronavirus.

The Guardian YouTube network:

it's not even about him getting or giving the virus it's just pure disrespect

[melvintan]

Why did Mayo let him in? It is against Mayo rules.

[josiebutler]

it makes me laugh a little because literally everyone else in the video is wearing a mask... apart from the vice president, a major political figure in america

[bobgees]

This was filmed last year and everyone was pre-warned that Pence tends to fart a lot in hospitals and therefore they should take precautions

WAIT WAIT WAIT... "he doesn't have to wear a mask because he's regularly THAT'S NOT HOW ANYTHING WORKS

[raj-hgyd]

no mask while everybody else has one on? what happened to the clinic´s policy? not to mention CDC guidelines?

[Mortthemoose]

Wow!
No mask, and absolutely no social distancing!

[idontwanttopickone]

When you didn't read the dress code on the invitation.

[krisadams]

Anybody considered the fact that the hospital doesen't have enough masks (by one) and Pence took on the extra risk himself because he is a great American hero?








Me neither

[michaelatkinson]

This guy is a hero you wouldn't of found John Wayne wearing a surgical mask

[mururoa]

Well, with a little bit of luck he'll pass it on to Orange in Chief.

[BobSmith-rfph]

Mike Pence should not have been allowed in the facility without a mask, but if I were the patient in that scenario or a family member of the patient then there'd have been some heads rolling by the time I was finished.

[mikelangley]

It's OK he's already had the vaccine..🤣

[Greenpoloboy]

Mayo Clinic sounds like a place they make mayonnaise

[simonkong]

Why was the blue T-shirt patient wearing name tag and badge, even with his shoe on, like all other clinic staff?

[OGW]

Just frankly tell public we have no enough mask. Even an ordinary reusable clothe mask is better than nothing. It is common sense mask can reduce things blown out of your mouth.

[aliz]

Aaaand that's how you get coronavirus

He is not a breathing human being. Remember when Dump had that meeting with Pelosi and Chuck and Dump said he would shut down the government if he didn't get his way? Dump, Chuck and Nancy were going back and forth debating each other while Pence just sat there; so still, hardly moving and someone commented saying Pence looks like a wax dummy from Madame Tussands House of Wax. How this House of Wax statue was able to move and visit this clinic is beyond me. Reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode "The After Hours" where that department store female mannequin came to life in order to give her a chance to mingle with real people for one day. Pence is not a real person. He will return to the White House and take his seat and become a House of Wax statue again.

The staff should have walked out in disgust.
