(CNN) It is possible to believe two different things about Vice President Mike Pence at the same time. That he and the Trump administration failed the country in their response to the coronavirus, but that his public vaccination on Friday was a good thing for all of us. Recognizing the value in Pence's public vaccination does not take away from his egregious mismanagement of a historic public health crisis. He even mused about injecting cleaning supplies as a possible cure for Covid. Trump claims he was joking about the cleaning supplies, but it turns out that many in the nation ended up laughing at him, not with him.
