WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. Vice President Mike Pence was in the Mountain State Saturday, visiting Governor Jim Justice at his Greenbrier Resort.

The visit included a round table discussion about the coronavirus, along with a fundraiser for the Trump and Pence campaign.

During the meeting, Pence praised Justices response to the pandemic, and said he will make sure the state continues to have the resources needed to protect vulnerable West Virginians.

Pence and Justice also discussed opening up the states economy. The vice president said both he and the president believe the nation must open its schools, and allow parents to get back to work.

But not everyone was thrilled about the vice presidents eventLast month, Governor Jim Justice lowered the Mountain States social gathering limit from 100 people to 25 people.

During a press conference last week, the governor was asked if the fundraiser he held at The Greenbrier violated those guideline, and the governor said he did not know much about the visit.

Now some West Virginia lawmakers are criticizing Justice, who owns the resort

I had an email from a constituent who is having trouble with unemployment shes a single mother. And were holding this big event at the Greenbrier? Under most circumstances most West Virginians couldnt afford to spend a weekend at the Greenbrier and now were hosting an event that costs $25,000 just to show up?? I find it disgusting, said Delegate Shawn Fluharty, a Democrat from Ohio County.

Top Republican officials from the state, including U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, Rep. Carol Miller, and Rep. Alex Mooney were also in attendance.

During the recent Farmers and Ranchers for Trump campaign rally in Iowa, Vice President Mike Pence stated that California Senator Kamala HarrisJoe Bidens recently chosen running mateis looking to reduce the amount of meat Americans eat. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would bury the economy under an avalanche of red tape: more regulation and more bureaucracy. In fact, the California senator that he named as his running mate this week said during her short campaign for president that Americans needed to be, and I quote, educated about the effect of our eating habits on our environment, Pence said at a recent Republican rally. Senator Harris said that she would change the dietary guidelines of this country to reduce the amount of red meat Americans can eat. Well, Ive got some red meat for you: Were not going to let Joe Biden and Kamala Harris cut Americas meat.

Pences statementswhich were made to an audience that has a vested interest in ensuring that the American public continues to eat as much meat as possiblewere drawn from a CNN town hall in 2019 during Harris run for president, wherein she responded to a question about whether she would support a change in the dietary guidelines to reduce the consumption of red meat. I think about the point that youre raising in a broader context which is that as a nation, we actually need to have a real priority at the highest level of government around what we eat and in terms of healthy eating because we have a problem in America, Harris responded. I love cheeseburgers from time to time, I just do. But [we must also consider] what we do in terms of creating incentives that we will eat in a healthy way, that we will encourage moderation, and that we will be educated about the effect of our eating habits on our environment. We have to do a much better job with that and the government has to do a much better job with that.

The same political tactic of implying that Democratic candidates will ban meat was previously used by Fox News against former presidential candidate, and vegan senator, Cory Booker. During a February 2019 episode of The Five Fox News segment, co-host Jesse Watters suggested phrases for Trump to use if he were to debate Booker, stating, He is going to take away your hamburgers, He will have to take away your steak, and Booker wants to take away your hot dog on the Fourth of July. During the segment, the hosts were all eating meat in an effort to further mock Booker.

In a recent op-ed published by Sentient Media, Carol J. Adamsacclaimed author of The Sexual Politics of Meatexplains that these tactics are commonly used by men, particularly white ones, to reassert their masculinity when they feel that it is threatened. Remasculinization goes through continual stages, as masculinitya construct of the gender binary facing constant destabilizationfeels always under threat, Adams wrote. Pences job could be done by a woman? A woman of color? What a threat to white male identity so raise the blood-red [meat-loving] flag high.

Mike Pence Thinks Kamala Harris Is Trying to Cut America's Meat - VegNews

Governor Charlie Baker is expected to meet with Vice President Mike Pence this weekend on Nantucket, where Pence is traveling to attend a fund-raiser for President Trumps reelection campaign, according to the governors aides.

Baker, who said he didnt vote for Trump in 2016 and wouldnt in 2020, is not attending the 30-person lunch fund-raiser on Saturday, according to Bakers office.

But the Swampscott Republican is planning to huddle privately with Pence on the island to discuss the pandemic and how the federal government can support Massachusetts response efforts, a Baker spokeswoman said.

Baker has enjoyed lofty approval ratings for his handling of the novel coronarivus pandemic among Massachusetts residents, who have been deeply critical of Trumps handling of the crisis. The president, sliding in public polling against the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, has repeatedly downplayed the viruss threat, claiming as recently as Tuesday that it will simply disappear.

A Republican National Committee official told the Globe that the Saturday fund-raiser is expected to raise about $1 million. Tickets for the lunch are $25,000, Politico reported.

Long diplomatic in his critiques of Trump, Baker has in recent months sharply criticized the presidents handling of the multiple crises buffeting the country. After Trump last month derided the nations governors as weak and demanded tougher crackdowns on protesters, Baker gave an unprompted rebuke of what he called the bitterness, combativeness, and self-interest emanating from the White House.

At so many times during these last several weeks, when the country needed compassion and leadership the most, it simply was nowhere to be found, Baker said.

He also criticized Trumps threat to cut federal funding from school districts that dont reopen this fall, calling it inappropriate for the feds to think about this as a one-size-fits-all. And early in the pandemic, Baker repeatedly vented when the Trump administration undercut the states efforts to track down badly needed personal protective equipment, including to Trump directly on a conference call.

Were a lot more interested in the work than in the noise, Baker said at a mid-April press conference after Trump claimed governors were staging a mutiny by forming pacts to coordinate reopenings, as Baker and six others had done.

Baker, however, has had a seemingly warmer connection with Pence, a former Indiana governor whose time in Indianapolis overlapped with Bakers first term in office.

The two had a joking exchange during a National Governors Association meeting last year, and Baker in August greeted Pence at the airport on Nantucket, when the vice president attended a similar fund-raiser for the Republican National Committee and Trumps campaign.

Baker did not attend last years fund-raiser, either, the governors aides said at the time. But the two met to discuss the stalled Vineyard Wind project and the trade deal the Trump administration had negotiated with Mexico and Canada.
