Karen Pence says vice president didn't know about Mayo Clinic mask policy until he left
Source: The Hill
Second lady Karen Pence said Thursday that Vice President Pence had been unaware of the Mayo Clinic's policy requiring all visitors to wear a face covering until after he left the facility on Tuesday.
"As our medical experts have told us, wearing a mask prevents you from spreading disease. And knowing he doesnt have COVID-19, he didnt wear one," she said on "Fox & Friends."
"It was actually after he left Mayo Clinic that he found out they had a policy of asking everyone to wear a mask," the second lady continued. "So someone whos worked on this whole task force for over two months is not someone who would have done anything to offend anyone or hurt anyone or scare anyone."
...
On Tuesday, the clinic tweeted, then deleted, a message that it informed Pence of its masking policy prior to his arrival in Rochester.
"Mayo shared the masking policy with the VPs office," the clinic said in an emailed statement after deleting the tweet.

(46,202 posts)VP Pence yesterday indicated that he knew about the regulation and opted not to respect it. He said that he tested negative for The Virus and thus, he wasn't a danger to anyone and he also said without the mask, he could look the healthcare workers "in the eye" to thank them sincerely for their work.
You can't both know and not know simultaneously.

(8,847 posts)wearing them, didn't you??????????
Of course, prior to the virus, they probably already wore them anytime they were around any RepubliCon, and doubled up when near Trump, McConnell, or Pence. And tripled up when around Jared and his Trailer Trash Barbee........

If he and his boss had 1/2 a brain all together, I'd be surprised.

Pence's crap is weak. At least he could have went ahead with a little machismo instead of letting his wife imply that he is stupid.

(268 posts)he should be carrying his mask and gloves everywhere he goes. He knows better than to go into a hospital without a mask! Anyone over the age of 8 knows better.
