Pence's Maskless Visit to Trump HQ in Rosslyn Criticized [View all]
Not by me.
I see that both the black guy and the Indian guy came in yesterday. Three more, and they could have had a Village People karaoke.
Also at Joe.My.God.
Pence Deletes Photo Showing Lockdown Violations
Vice President’s Maskless Visit to Trump HQ in Rosslyn Criticized
ARLnow.com Today at 9:35am
(Updated at 10:30 a.m.) Around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, a motorcade arrived at a Rosslyn office building.
Out stepped former Arlington resident Mike Pence. The vice president then made his way up to the offices of the Trump-Pence 2020 reelection campaign to rally the troops amid falling poll numbers.
After it was over, he sent out a tweet: “Stopped by to see the great men and women of the Trump-Pence Team today! Thank you for all of the hard work, keep it up! #FourMoreYears #KAG”
The tweet showed Pence standing in front of a sea of staff members in the Arlington office, with everyone flashing Trump’s signature double thumbs-up.
The problem: staffers were not social distancing and no one was wearing masks, a likely violation of Virginia’s mask requirement for indoor public spaces, as pointed out by local Democratic operative Ben Tribbett. Shortly after he did, Pence’s tweet was deleted.
