The Trump administration is not only ignoring CDC and medical experts guidelines it is actively working to make Americans less safe.
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. As The Intercept reports, 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 (video below.)
Let's think about this .........they are in charge of companies, and not one of them said no.....
........it was all about the photo op, so that it reinforces the
fucking "truthers" to go around doing there shit show..........just imagine what they (CEO's) are doing to the employees that have to go home to there families......I just wonder if they have health care where there employees work.....doubt it.......

(14,887 posts)"...the union that represents Iowa meat-packers, who have been forced back to work by an executive order from the president despite outbreaks at their plants, suggested that it would have been more useful for Pence, Perdue, Grassley and Ernst to have worked a shift alongside them. They should work in the same conditions and under the same fear that our members and their fellow Iowans work under every day,....
These are republicans. Work is for others, not them.
