While his boss has been hospitalized and stuck in the White House with a case of coronavirus, Vice President Mike Pence has been trying to get out and do some campaigning for his boss in key states such as Florida, where he was on Saturday.
The Veep was speaking to the single-most important demographic group in the Sunshine State: Senior citizens. Specifically, seniors from The Villages, the largest and most well-known retirement community in the nation. But what was most notable, according to The Daily Beast, is that most of the seniors who showed up were living dangerously, not wearing masks or practicing social distancing:
“The vice president (warned the) largely maskless crowd that the election would determine ‘whether America remains America.’”
Kate Svagdis, a Villages resident, said she doesn’t plan to distance or wear a mask at the event unless she’s told to.

Perhaps no one should be surprised that Pence was just as willfully reckless with the health of some of the most vulnerable citizens in the country as his boss, but nevertheless the images from that “rally” are almost painful to view because, based on the statistics, up to 10 percent of the people who showed up will probably wind up contracting the deadly virus.
Karma, however, also made an appearance at the Pence rally, and it came in the form of a plane carrying a banner which read:
“Pence is why you can’t see your grandkids.”

That, boys and girls, is what you call supreme trolling of the highest order. And it’s exactly what both Pence and Trump deserve to see wherever they go between now and November 3.
Over 215,000 Americans are dead due the complete ineptitude and craven motives of the Trump administration. They didn’t want to beat coronavirus; they just wanted to get reelected.
Donald Trump and Mike Pence are the biggest fools to ever be elected to office in this country. It’s time to send them both packing.
