A piece in the Washington Post about Karen Pence and her husband Vice President Mike Pence ignited a firestorm.
In 2002, Mike Pence told the Hill that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won’t attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either.
Supporters and critics alike cite her as a force behind her husband’s socially conservative stances, including his opposition to gay marriage and the religious freedom law he signed as governor of Indiana, which opponents worried would allow business owners to discriminate against gays and lesbians by citing religious concerns.
“You can’t get a dime between them,” said Ken Blackwell, senior fellow at the Family Research Council and a senior domestic policy adviser on the Trump transition team. “It is not him seeking her approval, but his doing a sort of gut check with what they have learned together and come up through together in terms of their shared Christianity.”
A remark from 2002 might not be valid fifteen years later.
Nonetheless, Leftists voiced their outrage about the way Mike Pence shows respect for his wife.
They're very selective when it comes to getting bent out of shape.
