How deep into this muck was Pence, the covid czar?

We shouldn't forget him, even as he's probably cowering in a corner as I type. I think this 'credit' should be shared, and there will be nothing plausible about any denials he might come up with.


Trump announces Pence will be 'coronavirus czar'
By Rachael Rettner - Senior Writer February 27, 2020


President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday (Feb. 26) that Vice President Mike Pence will lead the country's response to the new coronavirus.

"I'm going to be putting our Vice President in charge," of the response, Trump said in a news briefing.

Earlier in the week, lawmakers had called for the appointment of a "coronavirus czar" who would be in charge of the country's response, as was done in 2014 during the Ebola outbreak.

"I look forward, Mr. President, to serving in this role...of bringing together all the members of the coronavirus task force you've established," Pence said during the briefing.

1. Of course he knew

Surely Fauci told him of the danger. He could have resurrected Obama's pandemic plan that Trump threw out. He could have worn a mask in public for god's sake. But noooooooooo -- his boss didn't want to scare the stock market.

2. Give Trump time to hang Pence for this....

Because he will BLAME Pence and everyone else for this debacle.
