A case of tweet-and-delete by US Vice President Mike Pence was screenshotted by netizens on Wednesday, showing staffers in the office violating state-wide social distancing guidelines for Virginia.
Just days after US President Donald Trump’s controversial photo-op in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, a picture of his campaign staffers in neighboring Arlington, Virginia, has become the subject of scandal.
“Stopped by to see the great men and women of the Trump-Pence Team today!” Pence wrote in the June 11 tweet showing dozens of staffers condensed into one photo. “Thank you for all of the hard work, keep it up!”
The deletion of this post by Pence, who heads the White House’s Coronavirus Task Force, comes amid a new spike in COVID-19 novel coronavirus infections within the US.
Dr. Tom Frieden, former Director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned on Thursday that the US cannot rely on the current identified cases as the ultimate judge of nationwide COVID-19 infections.
President Donald Trump holds a medical swab near his nose as he tours Puritan Medical Products, a medical swab manufacturer, Friday, June 5, 2020, in Guilford, Maine.
While the US has a clear need for increased testing, the touring of Puritan Medical Products factory in Guilford, Maine, by a maskless, gloveless Trump forced the facility to run limited production on June 5 and ultimately resulted in the destruction of medical swabs for COVID-19 test kits.
