Mike will be working with the professionals, doctors and everybody else that is working. The team is brilliant. I spent a lot of time with the team the last couple weeks. But they are brilliant and we’re doing really well and Mike is going to be in charge and Mike will report back to me. But he has a certain talent for this.
The decision made absolutely no sense to analysts and Trump’s political opponents. Reactions ranged from “
unfortunate ” to “ (utterly irresponsible . ” Mike Pence Has Zero Medical Experience
Many were quick to point out Donald Trump did exactly what he criticized Obama for doing. In 2019, Trump Tweet:
Obama just appointed an Ebola Czar with zero experience in the medical area and zero experience in infectious disease control. A TOTAL JOKE!
There is always a tweet. | Source: Twitter Mike Pence has zero experience in the medical field. He’s a lawyer, not a doctor.
Trump did pick him to be a medical or scientific authority, but to signal to the Republican Party’s evangelical conservative voters that they ‘d have a voice in his White House. Mike Pence has a negative record in dealing with a health crisis as governor of Indiana.
When an HIV outbreak rocked his state, Pence dragged his feet and stymied the government response . While facing intense pressure to authorize a needle exchange program to contain the outbreak, he waited before finally authorizing a minimal program. Many in the state still blame him for hampering the response.
Then there’s the unreal op-ed (Mike Pence wrote in) (claiming cigarettes don’t kill) . He wrote these words, in the year : Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill.
But not to worry. Mike Pence won’t actually be in charge of the coronavirus response.
In an interview on MSNBC, Lanhee Chen, a former senior official at the Department of Health and Human Services, said:
The most important thing for the federal government going forward, for the president, for his administration– is to be crystal clear regarding who is leading this, who has the responsibility to execute on whatever the government strategy is, but more importantly, who if this goes wrong, is responsible.
That’s the real reason Trump is making a show. of putting Mike Pence in charge of coronavirus. He won’t be making the decisions.
But Trump can’t blame him if the government fumbles, or if coronavirus wreaks havoc Despite the best response we could expect from HHS. Voters don’t know Azar. Mike Pence, however, is in the public mind.
If coronavirus becomes an election liability, Trump can transfer his “guilt” to Pence. That’s why presidents pick stooges like Pence, Biden, Gore, and Quayle for VP. They’re all fall guys. For everyone’s sake, let’s hope Pence comes out unscathed.
