Karen Pence, the wife of Vice President Mike Pence, found herself completely horrified when she watched Donald Trump’s infamous “Access Hollywood” tape in which he bragged about grabbing women’s genitals.

In fact, according to a profile of Vice President Pence written by The Atlantic’s McKay Coppins, Karen Pence wanted to see her husband take over the Republican Party’s nomination for the presidency in the wake of the “Access Hollywood” tape, and it wasn’t just due to political opportunism.

“She finds him reprehensible—just totally vile,” one ex-campaign aide told Coppins.

Coppins reveals that the Republican Party was working on ways to make Pence its nominee shortly after the “Access Hollywood” tape came out, and had even started batting around the idea of drafting former Bush Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice to be his running mate.

20. Mike's Mommy!

2. But not vile enough for Pence to get off the ticket.

[GoCubsGo]

3. Well, she's not the man of the household.

So, I doubt her opinions mean much to her husband.

[MoonRiver]

4. But at least he never has dinner with other women unless she's there!

[gilpo]

5. Completely meaningless without the associated action

Convince your husband to resign

[marble falls]

7. Please, get Mike to resign!

[Hoyt]

6. That's all she finds vile?

[Mrs. Overall]

8. Relieved to hear that Karen doesn't have a "Trump Can Grab My P*ssy" t-shirt in her closet.

26. That's so bad! Thanks!

[japple]

9. That Pence/Rice ticket never would have worked anyway. Mother wouldn't allow

him to be alone in the same room with the veep!

[Perseus]

10. Pence & Condoleeza Rice???

Wow, republicans really have nothing, not even the guys that repudiate Trump and many of the other republicans as well, I am talking about Flake and Corker, are not worth a dime.

Flake and Corker went public about their disgust but still, like Lemmings, voted in favour of the trash that their party proposes.

[LittleGirl]

12. yup, they still voted yes for that bastardized bill

welcome to DU.

[cwydro]

14. Wow, I agree with a Pence.

Who’d a thunk it?

[czarjak]

16. Well, I do declare...

[True Blue American]

17. Corker voted against

Tax bill.

18. She's Pat Nixon 2.0

For those DU'ers not old enough to remember, Pat Nixon was always demurely at her husband's side. She never talked out of turn or did anything but defend her husband.

FYI, The New Yorker also did a long profile on Pence. They interviewed his mom and brother and both said Pence was always politically ambitious.

19. Yeah, but she

…stood there during the inauguration. I'll never understand the wives who know and have the power to save the world and yet, who don't do it.

[3catwoman3]

21. She finds him reprehensiblejust totally vile.

As well she should.

As should any woman.

[MFM008]

30. Or any person with at least

2 senses........

29. Thank you. Whenever I link to something I try to find the original source.

There is too much click-bait and promotion going on here, there, everywhere.

[Paladin]

23. I'm sure trump is losing sleep over "Mother's" opinion of him.

[sofa king]

24. I also find him vile, but I did a simple thing:

I publicly said I thought Donald Trump was a disgusting person, and I voted against him.

See the difference, there?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

25. So does Trump's own wife, yet there she is. nt

[ffr]

27. Does Mrs. Pence have fleas?

Because she doesn't seem to mind bedding down with dogs, as the saying goes.
