Mike Pence's contemptible convention speech: A fable of failure, culture war and corruption

Raw Story  

But speaking Wednesday from Fort McHenry outside Baltimore, reputed location for the writing of "The Star-Spangled Banner," Trump's dutiful vice president opened his address not by noting the solemn state we find ourselves in as a nation, but by continuing to rail against cancel culture, socialism, "left wing mobs" and Americans who failed to adequately "back the blue." "Last week, Joe Biden said 'no miracle is coming,'" Pence said Wednesday night. Pointing to a new Politico report about Pence's role leading the White House coronavirus task force, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that Pence had "pulled his punch" in confronting the virus and became "a figure in the background." Hours before Pence's RNC speech, multiple news outlets confirmed that the CDC had abruptly changed its guidelines to limit coronavirus testing, a top priority of Trump's since the outset of this outbreak.
