White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Vice President Mike Pence is able to continue campaigning because he is an essential worker, coming after his chief of staff tested positive for the CCP virus.

“Well, actually he’s not just campaigning, he’s working,” Meadows said on CNN Sunday morning while saying that Pence, who is in charge of the White House’s pandemic task force, is an essential worker.
