Vice President Mike Pence continues to come under fire over his refusal to wear a mask during a visit to the Mayo Clinic this week. Pence claimed he didn’t need a mask ― despite the clinic’s policy that everyone should wear one ― because he is frequently tested for coronavirus, as is everyone in close proximity to President Donald Trump. It is difficult to fathom someone so weak in character as to endanger others because of his boss’s vanity. Trump has said he will not wear a mask regardless of recommendations from his own task force that everyone should use facial coverings when going outside. “I just don’t want to wear one myself, it’s a recommendation,” Trump said earlier this month.
