Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday opted not to wear a face mask during a visit to the Mayo Clinics campus in Minnesota, bucking the organizations mandatory masking policy amid the pandemic.

Video showed Pence, whose face was fully exposed, surrounded by masked staff members and a masked patient while touring the clinic. It wasnt immediately clear whether the patient was infected with the coronavirus.

The Mayo Clinic informed Pence of the masking policy prior to his visit, the organization tweeted Tuesday. The tweet has since been deleted, but the clinic confirmed to HuffPost that it shared the masking policy with the vice presidents office.
