        No better example of the institutional failures that have happened during this crisis than the Vice President delivering empty boxes of masks to a nursing home before a gawking press.

        Matt McDermott Retweeted David Mack

        Additional context to @jimmykimmel segment. With 75,000 Americans dead, Pence is joking about about empty boxes of PPE during a publicity stunt, after the White House press secretary said they had no time for "publicity stunts" in the middle of a crisis.https://twitter.com/davidmackau/status/1258765030411186177 …

        David MackVerified account @davidmackau
        This isn't true. The clip cuts out at a selective point. When you watch the CSPAN footage (9 min in), Pence makes the crack about carrying the empty ones and the guy says "Absolutely. They're a lot easier!" Pence laughs then immediately shuts the van door. https://www.c-span.org/video/?471876-1/vice-president-pence-delivers-ppe-woodbine-rehabilitation-center … https://twitter.com/mattmfm/status/1258750892448387074 …

        Pence is just as much a fake. Just better at it.

        He’s been delivering empty promises for decades, why not empty boxes too. Empty like his soul.
