Vice President Mike Pence has been the butt of endless Twitter jabs and some scathing late-night show commentary after he showed up to an Alexandria nursing home on Thursday for a photo-op without a mask.

Pence was delivering boxes of personal protective equipment to the Woodbine Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center, one of many deliveries the Federal Emergency Management Agency will send out to nursing homes across the country. Pence was not social distancing from his companions on the trip, and no one in the group was wearing a mask.

The photo-op took place on the same day that a personal valet of President Donald Trump tested positive for the coronavirus. On Friday, news broke that Mike Pence’s press secretary, Katie Miller, is positive for COVID-19.

This is the second time in about a week that the vice president has taken heat for not wearing a mask during a public outing. In a visit to the Mayo Clinic last week, Pence flouted hospital rules by choosing not to wear a mask, which he later said was a “mistake.”

The Virginia Democrats put their criticism of the nursing home visit succinctly:

Pence addressed reporters outside the nursing home.

“From early in the coronavirus epidemic, we recognized that the risk to seniors, particularly those with serious underlying health conditions, are very real,” he said. “And so there’s been emphasis from early on.” 

As Pence and nursing home staff wheeled the last boxes to the door, a few empty boxes were left in the van and the vice president joked, “Should I carry the empty ones just for the camera?”

Pence was later mocked by late night television host Jimmy Kimmel for the comments, which were picked up by a hot mic. 

“Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPEs into a hospital is the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he’s doing: A big box of nothing delivering another box of nothing,” Kimmel said during the monologue on his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Thursday night.

Pence didn’t actually pick up the empty boxes—CSPAN video shows that, after making the joke, Pence closed the van door and walked off.
