Vice President Mike Pence defended President Trump’s return to holding large rallies, typically with thousands of supporters seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder and not wearing masks, even after 200,000 Americans have died from the novel coronavirus, ABC News reports.
Said Pence: “Well, we’re in an election year. President Trump and I trust the American people. We truly do believe in this freedom-loving nation that the American people know how to look after themselves, look after their families, and look after their neighbors and look out for the future of this country.”
Meanwhile, Trump tweeted a photo from his Tuesday night rally in Philadelphia showing just how packed the event was.
