The White (Supremacist) House's COVID-19 Task Force was back on stage yesterday after many weeks' absence to respond to the upsurge in coronavirus cases, setting new highs. Plaster mannequin and servile Trumpist VP Mike "Dense" Pence was given the embarrassing task of delivering absurd happy talk for his cult leader (who was likely in his bunker watching). Numerous red state governors have been forced to reinstate restrictions due to the new COVID-19 wave after they followed their cult leader's urging to prematurely open up their states' economies. Nonetheless, Pence declared that "truly remarkable progress" had been made in fighting the virus:
"Vice President Pence held the first public briefing of the coronavirus task force in nearly two months and sought to deliver an upbeat message that was at odds with warnings from public health experts. The vice president dodged the question of whether people should wear masks in public, as his own administration recommends, and said campaign rallies that pack people together, in violation of public health guidance, will continue.
Pence offered no new strategies to combat the rapidly spreading virus and minimized record daily case counts in several states as 'outbreaks in specific counties'.” (our emphasis)Pence has a ways to go to catch up to his cult leader's phenomenal record of lying, but at this rate, Pence is making "truly remarkable progress."
