Wow, Pence is dumb. I mean, seriously dumb.
You’d have to be dumb as a post to accept a job as Trump’s Coronavirus Czar if you cared at all about your political future — and Pence does.
When this goes south — and tragically, it will — Trump will have the perfect excuse to pick a new running mate. Someone like this.
UPDATE: Oh, yeah, there’s another thing about Pence. He’s completely incompetent, especially when it comes to health crises:
In late 2014, health officials belatedly became aware of an HIV outbreak in Scott County, Indiana,” The Nation reported in 2018. “With fewer than 24,000 people, this rural county rarely saw a single new case in a year, according to The New York Times. But by the time government agencies tried to stop the transmission of the virus a few months later, some 215 people had tested positive.”
“One man seemed responsible for needlessly letting the situation get out of control: Indiana’s then-Governor Mike Pence. In 2015, when the virus was seeming to rapidly move through networks of people who use intravenous drugs, even the reluctant local sheriff encouraged the governor to authorize a clean-needle exchange, a proven tool to reduce such an outbreak.”
That New York Times article was titled: “Mike Pence’s Response to H.I.V. Outbreak: Prayer, Then a Change of Heart.” It mentioned prayer five times.
Jeebus.
