Vice President Mike Pence was twice pressed on the wisdom of holding campaign rallies, even as the administration's own public health experts continue to warn against large public gatherings and as coronavirus cases surge, during a news conference.
As those health experts — including Drs. Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci — looked on, Pence characterized attending a rally as a personal decision the government could not impede.
"The freedom of speech, the right to peaceably assemble is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States," Pence said when asked — during the first public briefing by the White House coronavirus task force in two months — why he and President Donald Trump moved forward with campaign events.

This Administration is killing thousands of Americans through their incompetence.
I give that a million likes!!!😊
TENS OF THOUSANDS
Taya Trefanenko-Walker um 🙄😂
@Grateful Fredly
actually the administration is directly responsible.
Misinformation and delay has killed THOUSANDS of people.
You are wrong.
Taya Trefanenko-Walker you do know that the left didn’t think the virus was a big thing right ? They were furious when Trump started shitting down the Country right ? They called him a racist (again) for caring about citizens. UNTIL…..they saw the MSM sway that it’s a problem . They flip 😉 Seriously. How anyone thinks news outlets even care anymore other than money is sad 🙁

Translation: Trump and Pence don’t give a damn about the American people.
You are right! Even more, he actively DISDAINS the American citizens.
Yep. It’s ALL about re-election, Baby! That is ALL they care about. The rest of us out here are simply cannon fodder.
Why do they even hold those conferences? They are useless.
Biggest waste of my time… fortunately, I was in the middle of making dinner, so I could kind of mentally escape. My poor husband, however… He was leaping out of his lounger, swearing at the TV and scaring the cat.
It’s called propaganda.
@R. McBride Just make sure to tell your husband vote this idiot out in Nov.
This administration is SOOOO stupid that after all the incompetence they have shown…..they still aspired to a 2nd term…
Is hilarious!!!😁😅🤣
pence is a very spinless man, just like his boss.
Pence has sold his soul in this administration to be VP
b prizzi and this man is a Christian. He’s a hypocrite
@A Broman they make the best hypocrites 😂
He’s doing quite a dance around the question that was asked, along with outright lies – there ARE significant new covid cases.
Lol “freedom of speech” while Spanky threatens to use the US military to stop people from exercising their “freedom of speech” rights. Hypocritical.
Toronto Citizen exactly
@annie lane ?? LOl
Olaina Silva some Democrats have said that all cattle farmers should just euthanize there cattle …it’s wrong . 🤷♀️ They are just a commodity for business . So I guess you would agree that no one should have cattle ? And alligators should be able to take over New Orleans and Florida killing people ? But wait !!!!! Are you going to feed all these animals ?
@annie lane Privilege. Wow, I’ve been vegan for 56 years and never been called privileged. Plant eater, animal lover, hippy. But never privileged. The animal agriculture is in short “evil.” Do research and educate yourself instead of judging ☮people who choose not to kill.
imagine having a pandemic in a country where millions of people cant get healthcare.
Imagine a country who pushes their people to expose themselves to the virus and pass it on. This is a thought out plan.
nonce and that’s not all, he is urging the supreme court to rescind what remains of the ACA. What good guy, has anybody seen what he plans on replacing it with…you know why?
Now he’s talking about the importance of peaceful assembly, where was he when police was shooting rubber bullets and tear gassing peaceful protestors?
He’s sounding more & more like his boss.
I’ve watched this 3 times and still can’t believe his answer.
Larry Klos … It’s hard for most of us to understand him because his answers to questions are usually in “Doublespeak”.
Funny, I’m seeing his mouth move but the balogne that is coming out doesn’t make any sense. Vote the big, orange toddler and his but plug out of the white house. His VP can’t even defend him . He can’t even say that 8 states are climbing in hospitalizations and one of the biggest hospitals in the world (Texas) is over booked. Vote him out
Freedom of speech is Important only for Trump’s political agenda, but not for those pacific protesters who want abolish systematic racism.
In my mind this is a campaign strategy. Create a stigma around maskmaking, over the last couple of months. Tighten down the screws on the message. Tell your followers that their freedom and the Constitution are in jeopardy in regards to mask wearing.
America is the biggest failure of freedom this Earth has ever seen.
This is the most accurate comment I’ve ever seen on any social media platform.
And that ladies and gentlemen is a self-named Christian. Lying for Caesar.
He is such an embarrassment. Makes him perfect for the job for trump.
