  1. Cdc says #….”I dont believe it”
    So how many? “Ill leave that to the experts” (that i JUST said I dont believe)
    Pence is as bad as Trump!

    1. CRAZY Trump will die painfully …this mad-dog Trump is born a very stupid LIAR..he didn’t even knows that melania´s son looks like PUTIN

  2. They’re doing less test so the confirmed cases reports dosent rise there could be a million people infected we wouldnt know because our goverment is playing games

    1. Trump ignores and denies the real corona virus #s because he is worried about his position in the polls.
      He couldn’t care less about keeping us healthy

  3. Just the kind of guy you want protecting the nation from this pandemic. His record on HIV as governor should makes you worried, very worried.

    1. Just to clarify, if you believe providing needles to addicts is wrong, you’re solely responsible for EVERY individual addicts decisions from then on?

    1. Common sense seemed to miss you when you using this tabloid trash network to source your information. How could you not be embarrassed to watch a network with so many retractions, defamation lawsuits & settlements for knowingly reporting fake news

  4. Turkey have one case, sure! That’s the same way USA works, no tests no cases! Congratulations. 🤯

  5. “I wouldn’t say they’re wrong…” Why can’t this man just tell the truth instead of trying to spin it? Infuriating!

    1. Bev Roberts Because you people don’t like truth you make your own scenarios that men should be woman and woman should be men you all can’t handle truth

    1. Diego Serrano you are being very kind, evil pence is an idiot with a gnat brain 🧠 and it is up in trumpanzee butt

    2. At least he says something relevant and doesn’t just repeat “Corporate greed and pharma companies bad, orange man bad” 1000’s of times.

    3. How could you not be embarrassed to source information from a tabloid trash network with so many retractions & defamation lawsuits from knowingly reporting fake news? Besides that the only thing lower than cnn’s ratings is their credibility & integrity

  6. Pence keeps going on and on, not allowing her to ask more questions that he would not be able to answer.

    1. How could you not be embarrassed to source information from a trash network with so many retractions & defamation lawsuits from knowingly reporting fake news? It’s 2020 you can find a credible news source

  7. “How many tests have been done?”
    “I’d have to leave this up to the experts.”
    YOU ARE THE FLIPPING SPOKESPERSON FOR THE EXPERTS. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ALREADY. MAYBE EVEN UPDATE THE NUMBERS 2X A DAY. WE HAVE ALL THESE 3RD PARTIES WHO CAN TEST. HOW MANY ARE THEY DOING AND WHAT IS THEIR DAILY CAPACITY? DO THE JOB LORD TRUMP* GAVE YOU TO DO ALREADY!

    1. He tried to say the experts were wrong then said he’d leave it to the experts. I can’t believe this is what the Republicans want

  8. pence’s strategy :”talk, talk, talk, lie, avoid to acknowledge that trump said stupid things'” 🙂 … this strategy is not helping people 🙂

  9. When a person cannot answer a question directly, it’s most often because
    the answer is too painful to hear OR as per the current DJT administration
    too painful for them to voice the actual truth.
    The truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t going away.
    Pence is the guy who was found to have motivated “a total collapse of public
    health leadership and a dereliction of duty in Indiana.”
    “could have avoided this epidemic if science took the lead instead of ideology.”

    1. @Donald Ring
      HUH.? How about complete sentences with an intention to actually communicate. FYI – I failed to reference Obama, it would appear you are not having the same conversation. If the point was to defend Pence, the accusations of him were not my own but that of a 2018 study published in the medical journal The Lancet by Yale University researchers,

    2. There is no cure, no symptoms and only quarantine until it goes away, there’s really nothing u can do except mask up like the Chinese if it gets bad.

    3. @Bambi
      Well, Thanks Bambi, though I appreciate your kind words, my knowledge is actually a result of an ability to read. And given the fact, some of the world’s best and brightest haven’t been able to “save everybody from this pandemic,” it’s highly unlikely I would. Thank you, for thinking so highly of me.

  10. The VP mentioned “The President” so many times, anyone would think, he was attempting to pass the buck!

    1. @Grace Munich Give me a detailed policy outline on what WOULD have been acceptable. This whole address, I feel was not well coordinated and whoever approved it should be fired. THAT being said, when Trump got ahead of this, he was blasted on the left as a bigot for banning people from traveling from China. We then hear from the left, he didn’t do enough to prevent it. Can you see why your side of the aisle are fleeing en masse currently? You’re so philosophically inconsistent.

    2. @Ian Gordon listen to both Trump n Hannity (surprise surprise) casually dismiss the approaching pandemic as nothing to worry about.. _”go about your business – people have bills to pay.. it’ll pass soon enough.. we’ve got it all under control.. the doctors will have a vaccine in a coupla months.. everybody dies eventually.. the hoax is on the Democrats” (huh???).._

      Look at the initial response to testing.. insurers not willing to pay the cost. Testing actually decreased. Independent actors told to stop creating a panic. Oh… that must’ve been the other Trump n Hannity combo. Swiftly passed to Pence to handle.

      Now Trump is making nationwide presidential addresses, saying something very, very different. What do you think he should/could have done better?

    3. @Jim Jam Like Aforementioned, whoever wrote this speech should be fired. As the leader of the free world, the goal would be to keep people calm. Downplaying it to the level Trump had been before the WHO classified it as a world pandemic isn’t a good response. That being said, you didn’t address the fact that the media initially responded to Trump’s actions by declaring him racist for the umpteenth time. How is it fair to now say we didn’t do enough? Are we as prepared as we should be for something of this magnitude? Absolutely not. Has Trump handled it as well as he could have? No. But if we’re going to play the politics game, not recognizing the fact the media went from, “racist”! to, “we didn’t do enough” is pretty asinine. Can you at least agree with that?

    1. Jae Smith he literally didn’t answer any of the questions in a way that shows transparency or knowledge. She’s apprehensive because it’s clear we are all fucked

  11. The facts don’t seem to agree with Pence’s story that he’s just made up. I guess the facts must be wrong. It’s the only explanation….

    1. @TONY I was here for a constructive argument with peers I disagree with (I’m conservative) but get that garbage link out of here you cockroach. Reported. Taking advantage of people during a crisis is disgusting.

    2. How can you honestly think your getting any credible information from a tabloid trash network with so many retractions & defamation lawsuits from knowingly reporting fake news? Besides that cnn’s ratings are the lowest in cable network history & should tell anyone with a tiny bit of common sense they have zero credibility & integrity

    3. @ROB112 Even if I agree with most of what you’re saying, you attract bees with honey, not vinegar. I always thought people on the other side of the aisle were self righteous bad people. They’re not. We just disagree. Instead of attacking, educate. Let’s come together as a Country. Especially now in this time of crisis.

  12. So are you saying the CDC figures are wrong

    Pence: well I would say they’re incomplete

    Sooo…they’re not accurate…or in layman’s terms….”wrong”

  13. Pence tries to slow everything down and not allow the interviewer to ask questions. All part of his BS strategy.

  14. 1st Question: “Why the confusion?”
    1st Answer: “I don’t think there was confusion.”
    3rd Question: “Why are the [CDC reported] test numbers going down?”
    3rd Answer: “I don’t think they are, Allison.”
    There’s your answer why the financial markets in the USA are in free fall ~ and why Trump chose this pathetic, lying lapdog.

    1. @Salvatore James it matters because left unchecked the virus will put an unbearable burden on the health service and people will die needlessly because of a lack of capacity to treat the high numbers. Monitoring the virus through testing and implementing exclusion zones and other social policies will delay and broaden the peak amount of infections allowing more people to be treated over a longer time scale thus saving lives.

    2. @Salvatore James just so I can check you are not a bot how are dems weak tools – literally and figuratively?
      I have no doubt I would literally find it difficult to undo a 3/4 inch bolt with a Bernie Saunders instead of a wrench and he wouldn’t fit in my tool box.

    3. How can you not be embarrassed to source your information from a tabloid trash network with so many retractions, defamation lawsuits & settlements or knowingly reporting fake news? I’m guessing you don’t mind then sounding like a complete ignorant uninformed tool

    4. @Philip Merewood Well, the weak part is self explanatory. As for the rest of your comment, you’re showing your IQ once again. That’s fine, I’ll play. If there is a bolt in a wall, and you use your hand to unscrew it…you… Are the tool. It’s bed time for you little one… Night night
