Vice President Mike Pence hatched a PR stunt while delivering PPE supplies during a medial crisis that has claimed more than 75,000 American lives … he didn’t carry it out, but just saying it out loud is bad.
The VP’s latest fumble went down Thursday while he and a host of other White House officials delivered PPE equipment from FEMA to a nursing home in Alexandria, VA. where you can see Pence carry and wheel in several boxes.
After delivering 8 boxes, he went back to the delivery van for more. A hot mic picks up someone telling the Veep, “Those are empty, sir. We’re good to go.” The VP then shot back, “Well, can I carry the empty ones? Just for the camera?” He smiled before someone responded, “Absolutely.”
For the record, he didn’t. And, also for the record … a terrible joke considering the PPE shortage across hospitals and the troubling images of nurses, doctors and other health professionals forced to re-use face masks.
It was just last week when Pence showed up to the Mayo Clinic without a mask. His excuse for not wearing a mask? He said he’s tested regularly.
BTW … a member of Pence’s team has tested positive for the coronavirus. As we reported, one of Trump’s valets also tested positive. So far, both Pence and Trump say they tested negative.
