Vice President Mike Pence was twice pressed on the wisdom of holding campaign rallies amid a coronavirus surge. As the administration's health experts looked on, Pence characterized attending a rally as a personal decision the government could not impede.

As those health experts -- including Drs. Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci -- looked on, Pence characterized attending a rally as a personal decision the government could not impede."The freedom of speech, the right to peaceably assemble is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States," Pence said when asked -- during the first public briefing by the White House coronavirus task force in two months -- why he and President Donald Trump moved forward with campaign events.

"But he insisted an increase in cases could be explained partly by scaled-up testing, an explanation Trump has seized upon as he seeks to explain why the virus is still raging."To one extent or another, the volume of new cases coming in is a reflection of a great success in expanding testing across the country," Pence said.

And he's right.

He's just as RIDICULOUS AS HIS BOSS. POINT BLANK PERIOD!

Mikey your days are numbered... maybe that executive order donnie signed about skills and jobs will help you in November, because your political career is OVER!

Bad example.

Joke

It's interesting how VP supports the Constitutional right of Americans to assemble for trump maskless-crowded-indoor rallies. However, he doesn't accord the same Constitutional rights to peaceful Americans demonstrating for an end to murdering unarmed Black men. VoteBlue

Mike pence is politicaly done He has lied to cover up for a crazed president. He has lost all credibility. He has become fraudulent with his religious views. He sold out to what will be the worst president of our lifetime

A coward. And not fit for dog catcher. Sorry to dog catchers. Mike_Pence

One can talk all the freedom stuff they want, bottom line, COVID-19 has killed young and old and it’s time to mandate wearing mask to save lives! These politicians don’t care and they are the cause of many deaths in the name of freedom or economy, shameful!

Yes they can, don’t hold rallies that put Americans lives at risk

Coronavirus surge caused by protesters / looters

Pence wants to give Americans the 'freedom' to walk blindly into the slaughterhouse of Covid-19.

Pence is trumps monkey boy.

Mike Pence was twice pressed on the wisdom of holding campaign rallies amid a coronavirus surge. As health experts looked on, Pence characterized attending a rally, and choosing the type of body bag you want to leave in, is a personal decision the government could not impede.

Just like it's your right to drive through a busy intersection on a red light!

What about a display of common sense and practicality - signs of leadership and responsibilty?

Loved the fact that Dr. Fauci trolled Pence during his entire speech by wearing a mask and standing behind him the whole time that Pence spoke.

Hmm, a personal decision ? Like abortion ? Like gay marriage ?

LIAR.

Strange, they didn't press him on the wisdom of holding protests. It's almost like the MSM thinks those are okay but rallies aren't. They are either both against CDC guidelines, or they're both not. You can't pick and choose.

Yep and I missed it. I hope to god he said because you left lunatics held protests first and it was okay with no news surge of cases. Please that is what he said, right?!!!!!

Which is the same response you should have for whether you are attending protests. A personal decision that government cannot impede. Both are not in the good or evil bucket but a choice people can make for themselves.

Has any numbers come in from Oklahoma?anxious to hear about alot of new cases, hopefully asymptomatic, but those people did make thier beds.

CNN lies more than their leader Satan.

TurkeyIsBombingKurd FYI

I thought when I seen pence come out to the briefing and no trump appearance, trump just threw pence under the bus. In fact pence came out and just threw himself under the bus. Idiot
