Karen Pence Vows To Tell Trump's Story On Twitter And It's Not Going Well

(Oh mother!)

The second lady promises to share “what President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are accomplishing.”

Karen Pence has joined Twitter to help with President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign. And it’s not exactly going well.

The wife of Vice President Mike Pence created the account last month, and over the weekend shared a video announcing her intentions to help the 2020 campaign. After first revealing her likes ― painting, bike riding and reading ― she declared that she will be on the campaign trail “to help tell the story of what President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are accomplishing in the Trump administration.”

She then called on Twitter users to “follow along to KEEP AMERICA GREAT!” and shared some photos from campaign events as well as the Pence family pets:

I will give Mike and Mother a little credit for liking animals, which Trump doesn't, but even Hitler liked dogs. Mother is really getting slagged on Twitter, especially about the children in cages.

He ordered the doctor to give it to his own dog to check its efficacy and speed. If this is true, it's not likely he was a dog lover.

Not exactly. The truth is Hitler loved the dog (Blondi I think) and he did not want the dog to be left behind. It likely would have been tortured by the Russians had they come across it. The Russians were raping and pillaging everything on their way to Berlin. Hitler was going to have the dog killed anyway so he did use the cyanide on the dog to test the effectiveness, but not because he didn't care for the dog. Not "defending" Hitler of course, but he did love his dogs.

During the course of 29 April 1945, Hitler learned of the death of his ally Benito Mussolini at the hands of Italian partisans. This, along with the fact the Soviet Red Army was closing in on his location, strengthened Hitler in his resolve not to allow himself or his wife to be captured. That afternoon, Hitler expressed doubts about the cyanide capsules he had received through Heinrich Himmler's SS. By this point, Hitler regarded Himmler as a traitor. To verify the capsules' contents, Hitler—who already intended to have Blondi killed so that she did not fall into the hands of the Russians—ordered Dr. Werner Haase to test one on Blondi, and the dog died as a result. Hitler became completely inconsolable.

According to a report commissioned by Joseph Stalin and based on eyewitness accounts, Hitler's dog-handler Feldwebel Fritz Tornow took Blondi's pups and shot them in the garden of the bunker complex on 30 April, after Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide. He also killed Eva Braun's two dogs, Frau Gerda Christian's dogs, and his own dachshund. Tornow was later captured by the Allies. Hitler's nurse, Erna Flegel, said in 2005 that Blondi's death had affected the people in the bunker more than Eva Braun's suicide. After the battle in Berlin ended, the remains of Hitler, Braun, and two dogs (thought to be Blondi and her offspring Wulf) were discovered in a shell crater by a unit of SMERSH, the Soviet counter-intelligence agency.

And I remember reading early on that she doesn't like Trump. I found that unsurprising.

Oh Karen... carrying water for the thrice married philandering porn star-paying money laundering election-cheating racist in the White House who cages children for fun. Your Christian values are shining through.

The tax cuts went to the super wealthy, he's working his hardest to pollute the environment, more people are uninsured. Even his bloody fence is just rehabbed old fence. What can Karen Pence possibly say?
