Recently, Vice President Mike Pence proved to this country and the entire world that he doesn’t care about the health and safety of the American people in the midst of this pandemic, even our most vulnerable, any more than his boss Donald Trump does.
This past Friday, Vice President Pence put a group of this nation’s most vulnerable people at even higher risk when he held a rally-like event in Florida where not only is the virus running amuck almost completely unchecked, but consisted of a large number of attendees from the largest retirement community in the country — The Villages. To make matters all the worse, the Daily Beast reported that the large crowd of high-risk senior citizens was severely lacking in masks, meant to help control and prevent the spread of the potentially deadly coronavirus.
Attendees have filled the majority of the socially distanced seats 2 hours before VP Pence is set to speak.
The crowd is currently rocking out to Kid Rock’s “Born Free.”

Frankly, it just serves as further proof that this administration, even after being so heavily affected by the potentially deadly virus themselves, still only cares about their personal agenda at the end of the day, rather than the very demographic of people they’re relying on so heavily to actually vote for them in just a few short weeks. And one unidentified person or group wanted to make sure the attendees of this dangerous event knew that.

Flying in the sky over Pence’s MAGA-style rally was a banner plane, featuring the message, “Pence is why you can’t see your grandkids” for all the elderly rally-goers to see as they crowded around, mostly maskless, potentially exposing themselves to an illness that could literally be the death of them.

The Beast reports that it’s unknown who was behind the banner, but nevertheless, the message was spot on. These people are quite literally some of the country’s most vulnerable and have likely gone months and months without seeing their family thanks to the enormous downfalls of the Trump administration and the Coronavirus Task Force, headed by Mike Pence himself. It only makes sense that someone points as much out to them.
