It’s closing in on Mike Pence
Last week we had to listen to Donald Trump claim that he had tested negative for coronavirus, under circumstances so suspicious that no one even believed him. We also had to listen to Mike Pence insist that he hadn’t even been tested, because he somehow magically couldn’t have caught the coronavirus at Mar-a-Lago either.
Now Mike Pence has a new problem. NBC News is reporting this evening that a senior member of Pence’s staff has tested positive for coronavirus. The White House is claiming that this person didn’t have close contact with Pence. But at this point does anyone believe a word that this White House says?
As we’ve said from the start, we don’t want anyone to catch the coronavirus. None of the senior people in this White House deserve to have their jobs. Many of them belong in prison. We’re not going to root for any of them to contract a horrible virus.
But this is all closing in on the Trump regime pretty fast. It was a matter of time before there was a coronavirus outbreak in the White House, and it’s happened. Now we’re going to see just how many or few people in the White House end up getting sick. We wish them the best with their health.
