Vice President Mike Pence on Sunday was asked to respond to comments by Donald Trump Jr. and other conservatives claiming that Democrats actually support the coronavirus insofar as it could politically damage President Donald Trump.
Pence, 60, was appearing on Meet the Press to discuss the governments coronavirus response. Trump put him in charge of addressing the respiratory virus last week.
Host Chuck Todd asked Pence about comments by Trump allies, including the presidents oldest son, that contended the Democrats wanted this to become a political issue. Todd pressed Pence to point to specific examples of this, while stressing that Pence himself had not politicized the virus.

None of this seems to match the facts, Todd told Pence. What facts are there that Democrats are doing this? Seems like people are asking questions and theyre concerned about the virus. This implies some sort of political motivation, which is kind of gross.
Theres been a lot of irresponsible rhetoric among Democrats and commentators on the left, Pence responded.

Pence and the dotard would rather play the blame game I guess.

(10,274 posts)No, we democrats dont want ANYONE to have to die just because the president is a demonstrable fucking moron that doesnt have the first damned clue what hes doing.
And if he had even an ounce of journalistic integrity, he would have asked pence 'why the fuck are YOU in charge of the response, instead of someone at the CDC who might actually know what the hell they're doing?'
And if he DID want to say something about it, it should have been done as a statement of fact that this is a bullshit accusation, separate from the pence segment.
Fucking hack.
