The Mayo Clinic Threw Mike Pence Under the Bus for Not Wearing a Mask During His Visit in a Now Deleted Tweet

The Mayo Clinic Threw Mike Pence Under the Bus for Not Wearing a Mask During His Visit in a Now Deleted Tweet
PBS News Hour

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump raised announced updated health expert recommendations to wear facial coverings in order to slow the spread of the virus that's killed thousands of Americans and upended daily life in the United States.

Trump stressed that these were just recommendations and that he wouldn't be wearing one himself, implying that it was a sign of weakness for a world leader to do so.


As a result, Trump supporters are significantly less likely to wear facial coverings that prevent their saliva droplets from projecting onto other people and surfaces, potentially spreading the virus.

Among those supporters is Vice President Mike Pence, whose Tuesday tour of the Mayo Clinic made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

The Clinic's website reads:

"Part of our protocol for ensuring your safety is to require all patients, visitors and staff to wear a face covering or mask while at Mayo Clinic to guard against transmission of [the virus]."

Despite Mayo Clinic requirements and despite meeting with numerous doctors and even a patient at the clinic, Pence didn't wear a facial covering.



People noticed and began asking questions as to why Pence was an exception to a potentially lifesaving rule.

The Mayo Clinic said in a tweet that they'd informed the Vice President of their policy, but the tweet was soon mysteriously deleted.

The Mayo Clinic receives around $634 million per year in federal funding. Given the Trump administration's infamous vindictiveness, some wondered if the tweet was deleted out of fear of retaliation.



Regardless, the clinic's deletion only brought more attention to the statement.






Not a good look, Mike.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
