(1,207 posts)I mean-- I disagree with all of his positions, and I think he's nutty....but, all he does is stand behind Trump and try to look stern. I don't think I have ever even heard him speak.
A two week vacation from having to be around that tangerine tweeting nutjob might just be what he needs.

snip--"In late 2014, health officials belatedly became aware of an HIV outbreak in Scott County, Indiana. With fewer than 24,000 people, this rural county rarely saw a single new case in a year, according to The New York Times. But by the time government agencies tried to stop the transmission of the virus a few months later, some 215 people had tested positive.
One man seemed responsible for needlessly letting the situation get out of control: Indianas then-Governor Mike Pence. In 2015, when the virus was seeming to rapidly move through networks of people who use intravenous drugs, even the reluctant local sheriff encouraged the governor to authorize a clean-needle exchange, a proven tool to reduce such an outbreak.
But, as the Times reported when he became Donald Trumps running mate, Mr. Pence, a steadfast conservative, was morally opposed to needle exchanges on the grounds that they supported drug abuse. His opposition was based on an incorrect belief; while research has long shown that needle exchanges do reduce HIV and hepatitis, it has also shown that they do not encourage drug use."
snip--" The disaster in Scott County was not just a failure of clean needles or even just Indianas long-time abstinence stressed sexual education. It was a disaster born of a total abdication of Indianas public-health responsibilityand its the kind of health disaster we could see nationally. Pence is now vice president in an administration that is gutting HIV/AIDS resources and further criminalizing drug usetwo paths that will increase HIV prevalence across the country. Meanwhile, the twin crises of deindustrialization and rising opioid usage mean that the conditions for localized HIV epidemics are not unique to Scott County. Indeed, Gonsalves and Crawford write that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes there are 220 counties across the USA at risk of outbreaks of HIV and hepatitis C."

(6,008 posts)... He might when he's not on camera, but in their worldview, to wear a mask is to show weakness, to admit they were wrong, to lose face, and they will never do that, even if it kills them, so we might hear leaked stories about how their wearing masks in private, but I bet we never see it on camera.
