In reply to the discussion: Pence staff threatens action against reporter who tweeted about visit to clinic without surgical mas [View all]Bernardo de La Paz
(48,788 posts)4. Pence dared not wear a mask because they want masks to be for "weirdos" to fit their plan
They won't be able to get back to the old normal if masks are the new normal. tRump and Greed Over People are so all-in on the economic plan to "re-open", so all-in that they can only believe one possibility: the country goes back and some people die. But they have magical thinking "Oh it won't be too many". They don't want to try to understand the math (which is not hard math), even though basic graphs tell you what you need to know.
No, they have to appear confident and "normal". It's part of their only hope, their Hail Mary pass for getting re-elected.
Stay focused and be careful.

OP
If anything, as a "leader," he should be erring on the side of caution and wearing a mask
