Mike Pence provided more evidence that he’s an advanced automaton without emotion or feeling today when he said he didn’t feel a fly land and walk on his head for more than two minutes during last Wednesday’s vice presidential debate versus Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
“I didn’t know he was there,” Pence said on Fox “News” Monday, claiming that the first he was aware of it was when his children told him about it after the debate.
“They all told me, ‘Dad, you did OK,’” he said, acknowledging that his kids thought he had an undistinguished performance in the debate as most Americans felt. “But they did tell me about the fly. And it was a good laugh for all of us.”
According to a Politico, 62 percent of people polled said they saw, read or heard something about the fly. This is greater than the number of people who could identify Pence in a lineup, allegedly.
Prior to the 2016 election, just 52% of people knew who Mike Pence was, with only half of those people having a positive opinion of Trump’s running mate.
