Vice President Mike Pence said he didn’t believe President Donald Trump “has ever belittled the threat of the coronavirus” in an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday.

But a searing supercut released online soon after shows otherwise.

“Well, we have the receipts,” the Unite the Country super PAC, which is backing Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, captioned its 35-second video.

It begins with Pence’s reality-defying assertion before segueing into a series of clips of Trump talking about the pandemic, including one in which the president says the virus will one day just disappear “like a miracle.”
