hours after his press secretary tested positive for COVID-19.
On Friday Vice President Mike Pence flew aboard Air Force Two to Des Moines, Iowa, to meet with food industry CEOs. His flight was delayed after his press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for coronavirus. Several staffers were forced to exit the plane before it took off. Also board were Iowa Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, and Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue.
Pence held a roundtable discussion at the headquarters of the Hy-Vee supermarket chain. ... Five industry executives, seated at the table, all wearing masks, were approached by a staffer who asked them to remove their masks before the Vice President would come to the table.

(81,527 posts)That's long been Pence's default answer to anything uncomfortable about his boss, to whom he clings like a starving wannabe lover, hoping for a crumb to fall from His Lordship's table.

That or they could have refused to take their masks off. Why do people not stand up to these idiots.
