Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday evening tweeted, and then deleted, a photo showing a large group of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign staff not wearing face masks or social distancing, two recommendations of the coronavirus task force that Pence leads. "Stopped by to see the great men and women of the Trump-Pence Team today!" the tweet read. "Thank you for all of the hard work, keep it up!" The photo appeared to be from the campaign's Arlington, Virginia, office — Pence was not scheduled to travel on Wednesday and had no public events on his schedule.
In the photo, no one, including the vice president appeared to be wearing a face mask and the group far exceeded the 10-person gathering limit outlined in Virginia's phase one coronavirus guidelines.
Health experts have long warned that a lack of social distancing could result in a second peak in the virus.
