Coronavirus: Pence dodges questions about Trump's calls to 'liberate' states from governors' orders

Vice President Mike Pence stepped around a series of questions from Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday regarding Donald Trump's tweets urging people to "LIBERATE" their states from governors' social distancing measures to mitigate the coronavirus pandemic that have closed down businesses deemed "non-essential" and led to millions of people losing their jobs.Instead of addressing the tweets directly, Mr Pence suggested Mr Trump's comments were meant to show solidarity with an increasingly beleaguered set of working class Americans who are desperate to re-open the economy, despite warnings from health officials that the US does not have nearly the testing capability to prevent a second mass outbreak of Covid-19 if states re-open their economies too quickly.
