Pence wears face mask during tour of General Motors plant

Source: the hill

By Brett Samuels - 04/30/20 02:04 PM EDT

Vice President Pence on Thursday donned a face mask as he toured a General Motors plant in Indiana, marking the first time he's worn a mask on camera.

It came just days after he defended his decision not to wear one in defiance of the Mayo Clinic's policy on a visit to Minnesota.

The vice president was joined by White House trade adviser Peter Navarro, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) on the trip to the GM plant. All wore masks during the tour of the facility, which has been converted to produce ventilators.

"You’re making a difference for America,” Pence told one employee, flashing a thumbs-up to others.
