VP Pence on Whether Campaign Events Expose Americans to Covid-19

Vice President Mike Pence tried to paint a reassuring picture of the U.S. battle against Covid-19 citing “truly remarkable progress” during a briefing Friday while Dr. Anthony Fauci pleaded for Americans to take the virus more seriously.

The briefing came on the day after the U.S. recorded more than 39,000 new Covid-19 cases. Pence insisted all 50 states “are opening safely and responsibly,” adding that “we’ve all seen the encouraging news as we open up America again.”

When asked whether campaign events expose Americans to Covid-19, Pence said: “Freedom of speech and the right to peacefully assemble is enshrined in the Constitution of the United States.”
