Second lady Karen Pence defended husband Vice President Mike Pence after he faced backlash for not wearing a mask while visiting the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota earlier this week.

“As our medical experts have told us wearing a mask prevents you from spreading the disease and knowing that he doesn’t have COVID -19, he didn’t wear one,” Karen Pence said on “Fox & Friends.” She said her husband tested negative for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, a novel coronavirus that originated in China.
