It’s not a factor of defending himself - it’s taking a stand.

If, as I believe, he did it because he knows there’s no risk he should say so to further buttress governors who are reopening under attacks.

That’s called leadership.

Taking a stand by responding to a nebulous allegation (the Twitter post in question has already been abused) isn't leadership. That's the kind of thing President Trump would do, but it's not a characteristic of leadership ... it's a characteristic of a WWE-style president who sees everything like this as an opportunity to hammer his opponents mercilessly. That's great, but it is so NOT Pence's style.

If Pence is asked a direct question, he can give a direct answer. Absent that, he should just go about his business. THAT is leadership.

Right on, that is leadership. Pence has intelligence briefings and knows more about this subject that almost anybody on the planet right now... its was symbol to us that this virus is as not lethal we are led to believe .

Hospitals don't require visitors to wear masks always when visiting other types of victims under normal times, he was just following normal protocol as a LEADER, just as he did when he visited Steve Scalise who had been shot as an act of political malice, Pence did not wear a mask on that day either , so why is there a difference now if the message is going to be it is safe to reopen the country? This was a message to tell us all these types of “victims” are not as contagious as we are led to believe, and this is Leadership, people would have to be blind to not know what he was doing and how much he and Trump with experts have discussed when they go out, will they be wearing or not wearing masks to set an example
