Mike Pence’s coronavirus quarantine scandal just got even uglier for him
Yesterday the news leaked that Mike Pence had been quarantined, after he’d come into direct contact with his press secretary, who had tested positive. Then the Trump regime insisted that no, Pence was not in quarantine. But it appears he actually is, because he ran a meeting remotely today, and was nowhere to be seen during Donald Trump’s press briefing.
Now it turns out Iowa’s Republican Governor Kim Reynolds has been quarantined, according to a local newspaper in the state. Why? Because she came into contact with Mike Pence. That’s right, Mike Pence is considered so dangerous, people are going into quarantine simply because they came into contact with him – and yet Pence himself is still (officially) refusing to go into quarantine. This is getting just plain ugly for him.
