NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Infectious conditions are no laughing matter -- particularly as the nation is in the throws of the pandemic -- so it comes as no surprise that the White House was forced to address Vice President Mike Pence's seemingly bloody eye at Wednesday night's vice presidential debate.
Was it pink eye, which is highly contagious? (Definitely no laughing matter, even though many in the Twittersphere begged to differ)
No, a senior administration official told POLITICO Thursday, citing White House doctors, who said Pence did not have conjunctivitis infection -- aka pink eye.
They believe Pence suffered from a broken blood vessel, the White House official said.
