Pence’s comments about the president’s concern about the “cure” not being “worse than the disease” came in response to a question about those tweets from Trump.conducted just before the announcement of that new pathway shows that 58 percent of registered voters are more concerned that America will “move too quickly in loosening restrictions” and cost more lives than they are about the country taking too long to loosen the restrictions and cost more American jobs thanks to that delay.
“Testing has been a focus of ours, as well, from the very beginning. It’s the reason why the president, early on, brought in the vast array of commercial labs that took us from 80,000 tests one month ago to now 4 million tests as of yesterday,” he said. Pence added that while America can test about 150,000 people per day, daily testing capacity would double “overnight” if states would activate all labs in the state that can handle tests.
Asked whether their states have the testing capacity that they need to move toward reopening, Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine and Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer both said that shortages of vital supplies needed for test kits are frustrating their efforts to ramp up testing.DeWine made a plea to the Food and Drug Administration to “prioritize” companies that use a different method to create the “reagent” solution needed in test kits, given shortages of certain vital materials.
realDonaldTrump new hats. 'Make viruses great again'
Stop talking to that guy. Please
Is it me or he looks sick ,, really sick
Sad eyed hound dog pence. Arrrrruuuuu!
Vote them out💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Go back in your boss s asshole
He’s a monster in a suit
Pence looks depleted...even for an evangelical waiting for ‘the rapture’..having to LIE for trump is taking a toll on someone...probably Mother!
Testing. Any plan which doesn’t include massive amounts of testing is as useless as the VP
Has anyone ever seen his face move? I’m not convinced he isn’t a synth.
Has someone hollowed out this excuse of a man........🏳️🌈
Did he mention 41,000?
VP you may not care about our best interest, but it’s also in your best interest & realDonaldTrump ‘s to re-open responsibly. History does repeat itself!
They will need a lot more immigrants soon if they do this. To replace fatalities from the virus.
Problem with this Trump/Pence messaging is they don’t know still what the disease is, really, and have no real plan for the “cure.” They are gambling with American lives again and we know how well that first gamble has gone. Snake eyes.
So he thinks he can get employees to sit side by side in an office right now with infections still rampant? Good luck with that folly.
Jesus, he looks awful. He's aged about 10 years in 8 weeks.
What cure mike ❓
What’s worse than death....there is no coming back from it. The economy can rebound. This administration is just heartless.
VP one thing that the Republicans have taught us throughout this 3 year fiasco is you are all hypocrites when it comes to calling yourselves pro-life. I wonder how many women have died from COVID-19 that were pregnant? BTW, are you sick or just sick of lying to keep your job?
Operative word from Pence; 'Responsibly'.
Pence is looking really rough. He’s such a disgrace.
Sure. It’s only 3%.
Except this admin doesn’t accept responsibility. So there is that
Corrupted dynasty is worried about its cofunder's reelection that is why has combined all his goons to start& manage so called protests in different cities &likely Bannon is in charge of that with his accesses to racist group &F fox news call 100 protestors a huge of people
vp — this won’t cover the inaction by this current administration.
Best make Every Effort to finally get adequate testing...to states, cities, & The People! Need to accelerate the development of treatments and therapies to treat and defend against Coronavirus if US to open & thrive without Rebound! Instigating Recklessness Is Dangerous!
Responsibly sound fair, but what does that mean? We need a detailed plan with specific criteria and benchmarks.
Pence you are evil.
Is it just me or does pence look like he's aged a LOT, listening to the orange troll all day must do that to you
Trump, Pence, Mcconnell, Graham are the disease
Any uptick in the economy by relaxing COVID-19 restrictions regardless of how many additional deaths that would cause would be touted as a great Trump victory. The additional deaths would labeled as more fake news hype.
If the Trump administration is the cure then it's already worse than the disease.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
What about the nation’s elderly in nursing homes; their owners have lobbied for loose regulations and lazy oversight. They’re liable for deaths associated with COVID19 .
Feel sad for you to have to deal with an idiot mr vp
Trump and Pence and the rest of the republican idiots ARE the disease. They are killing americans along with democracy.
Hi I would just like to cast my vote for global recession / depression over being dead. Thanks.
He sound like a freaking robot. He doesn't answer the question when he is asked. He just keeps rambling on and on. Seems like he memorized his answers so if he takes a breath he will forget.
He looks sick himself
What cure?
25theAmendmentNow
And we're back to using that ridiculous phrase again.
I’m all for it but look at the negative comments here. But for you haters, if this was Obama trying to restart everything you’d all be for it 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Dude. Shut up
Mike_Pence How can the cure be worse than the disease? DT tweets 2 liberate Minnesota/Michigan/Virginia don't be a VP puppet when TD entices tweets like this stand up or educate him,the 2nd wave COVID19 will be like a Tsunami far deadlier lifting quarantine too soon.
DumbDonald
He's not looking so good...
Wasn't Pence in charge of the pandemic?
He looks like he has aged 20 years in the last month, in the photo.
Idiot doesn’t know that if we reopen to early we will destroy the economy.
It would be a good thing to let the ignorant Republicans go out and dance, it might be the best thing that has happened to this Country in decades.
JESUS CHRIST STOP USING THAT TERM. Neither trump nor Pence doesn’t even know it was a weak term from the outset
You go first and don’t forget to lick the handles while you are out and then report back old man
When you care more about money then real human beings souls are you really a follower of Jesus Christ? If you believe in God like Job you could lose everything but God will give you back more, showing us what you really worship.
Pence looks like shit. Is he positive for COVID-19? Or has he aged 80 years in the past 3?
What is worse? 40 thousands dead or... a recession? Well, I am not an economist, but...
Responsibly ? This bunch if crooks haven’t been responsible about anything ! We aren’t idiots they intend to lose several thousand they don’t have to, what difference if it’s 80k or 125k nothing to them !
Trump is saving lives while the hate continues...... Pelosi stands in front of her 30k refrigerator showing off 30 buck per pint ice cream..... What has she done to help? Nothing.......
👇40,000 Americans Dead. 40,000. This didn’t have to happen.
You are the disease pence!
The puppet at the podium echoing Trump's lies. His whole admins is a disarray, shortages, and misleading informations. All his data is phony and made up. On his watch as of today his admins are over 40 plus thousands deaths. His faults.
Who cares how many working people die? I want my stock portfolio to look awesome!!!
I wouldn't brag about being a state with little to no infections, now the virus will be sure to take notice!!
Look VP face. This is the look a guy that knows he hasn’t much time left to suck up to realDonaldTrump and he’s probably happy about it. On the other hand, he will never get elected to anything ever again because in 4 years he proved he has no balls. ⚽️ 🏀
absolutely NOTHING is worse than the disease. FULL FU***NG stop.
After 5 minutes of watching a happy self gratifying trump I turned on 60 Minutes showing the brave souls transporting all the dead in NYC. Truly sad.
Pence is starting to look a little worn.
Donald Trump is the president of all time. The fake news media are noting but a damn joke.
Americans WANT ANSWERS!
Hey what happened to your guys stupid miracle drug
Reagents and cartridges for the testing equipment unavailable. Been short on swabs since February. Just now using defense production act? Incompetent and irresponsible.
What a spineless little worm!
Seems reasonable - the curve is flattening and studies are now showing we have a great deal more herd immunity than we thought. 85 times as many people as diagnosed have antibodies.
Interpretation: I am losing money and so what if some people die. Cash is king...
In other words if a few 100 thousand of tou die that's ok. It's time to get this money
trump doesn't take responsibility for anything you see him undermining stay at home orders when it goes wrong he'll blame the governors or anyone but himself-
it seems gop and dems, have a secret mutual agreement
I think that might’ve been a couple weeks ago but I guess they can spin it however they want
So much for pro life
At least HE’S saying the right thing. Smh
Hard position to be in. Democrats fear everything
That makes no sense!
If we drones die, the economy still suffers.
Pence is just a lacky for Trump, nothing more. Every time he goes to the mic he starts by telling us how thankful he and we need to be for having such a great President. I am betting there is a picture of Trump over Pence's and his mother's (he calls his wife mother) bed.
Pence looks like grim death.
