Vice President Mike Pence is known for... other things.


Like calling his wife "mother," refusing to meet with or dine with women other than his "mother" because of his Evangelical Christian faith and trying to strip away as many rights as possible from LGBTQ people and women when he was Governor of Indiana.

The VP doesn't quite own his well-documented past.

Recently the Veep gave an interview to local newspaper The Washington Times. Pence said the secret to his success in the Trump White House was spending more time on his knees than on the internet.
