Mediaite: Karen Pence Defends Mike Pence Not Wearing Mask at Mayo
Second Lady Karen Pence defended Vice President Mike Pence’s decision not to wear a mask during his visit to the Mayo Clinic this week, claiming he was unaware of the need to wear one.
One reporter who accompanied the vice president on this visit said, “All of us who traveled with him were notified by the office of @VP the day before the trip that wearing of masks was required by the @MayoClinic and to prepare accordingly.”
The @MayoClinic told reporters it “shared the masking policy with the VP’s office" before his arrival. Karen Pence says Mike Pence didn't find out about it until after he left. So either someone is lying or Pence's staff didn't do its job. https://t.co/0GpxVsQMj0
