Pence Parachutes Into Ohio For Pep Rally
Ahead of Mike Pence's arrival in Columbus this week, Democrats and health care workers mourned the loss of more than 5,000 Ohioans to COVID-19 and called out Donald Trump's failed, incompetent response to the pandemic.
Congresswoman Joyce Beatty said, "It's a sad day, but they're desperate. I'm very fearful that we will see what we've seen at other rallies: a lot of photo ops, very few masks if any."
Dr. Anita Somani slammed the Trump administration's continued attacks on the Affordable Care Act -- even in a pandemic -- saying, "If we overturn the ACA here in Ohio, health coverage would be impacted for 740,000 folks, with as many as 5 million Ohioans who have pre-existing conditions being affected."
In a statement, Chairman David Pepper said, "Pence is parachuting into Columbus for a photo op. We don't need more super-spreader pep rallies from this failed administration."
