Day 905: The biggest fraud in the White House isn’t Trump. It’s Pence.

Donald Trump is many things. A liar, a coward, a racist, a misogynist, a probable sexual offender, a terrible negotiator and plenty of other adjectives. But, somehow, he isn’t the biggest fraud in the White House.

That “honor” belongs to his veep, Mike Pence.

Pence likes to play up his Christian faith to give a holier-than-thou image to the world. However, a brief look at his history and that persona falls flat. Take, for instance, last week’s Politico piece about Pence finding a way to continue running with Trump after the infamous Access Hollywood tape became public where he folded from doing the right thing in two days.

Speaking in Ohio just after the Access Hollywood bombshell dropped, Pence had initially dismissed the news as just another media hatchet job.

Instead of returning Trump’s calls, or Ryan’s calls, or flying to Wisconsin, the Indiana governor spent Saturday at home. He mostly prayed with his wife, Karen. She was apoplectic, warning her husband that she would no longer appear in public if he carried on as Trump’s running mate. He, in turn, hinted to his advisers that his time on the trail might be up. Feeling moved to communicate his inner anguish, Pence wrote Trump a letter spelling out what hearing that audio had done to him and his wife. (Trump confirmed to me that he received Pence’s note.) When two of Trump’s advisers learned of the letter, they worried they had seen the last of his running mate.

Within 48 hours the bleeding had stopped: Republicans ceased their calls for his withdrawal, Pence dutifully returned to the stump and his campaign went on as though nothing had happened.

So Pence disappeared, told his running mate that the tape was ripping him and his wife apart, “prayed,” and 48 hours later was both standing next to and up for Trump.

Fast forward to this week. Pence visited some prison camps for migrants and asylum-seekers, packed to the brims and reeking. Wandering inside for a few moments, expressionless and wearing a blazer and button-down, Pence refused eye contact with the men shouting — begging — for a shower after weeks without one. He then callously turned his back on fellow human beings and walked out.

The conditions were brutal, and that’s even with the facility knowing that Pence and the media would be looking in.

Pence dodged the question if he was okay with people being crammed in like sardines, before finally admitting it was a problem. However, he would later say people were receiving “excellent care” before taking a page out of Trump’s book and blaming the media for the disturbing images and videos.

But there were other issues too. For instance, the clothes that some children were wearing in one facility didn’t seem to make any sense considering the conditions.

Pence has never called out the Trump administration’s policy of separating families at the border. The tacit approval of such cruelness reveals his own callousness. He claims to be pro-life but doesn’t care about children dying at the border and in border patrol custody.

Pence’s fellow Indianian — and well as a devout Christian in his own right — Democratic presidential nominee hopeful Pete Buttigieg called out Pence for the immorality of looking the other way about the suffering. He used language he hoped Pence would speak: scripture.

As the days trudge on, it’s clear that Pence is not only valueless and awful, but a massive fraud who Trump seems to rub off on more every day. His pious persona is as fictitious as the “excellent care” those in prison camps are receiving.
