A stable genius bit Pence; but it wasn't Trump
By Dana Milbank
The Washington Post
American Pharoah has joined the #Resistance.
On Friday, Vice President Pence informed House Republicans that Triple Crown winner American Pharoah bit me so hard on the arm during a Kentucky visit last year that he (man, not horse) almost collapsed.
Some might disbelieve the vice presidents tale of American Pharoah carnage, because Pence said nothing about this grievous injury at the time and because the manager of the racehorse-breeding company said that if the sweet thoroughbred had bitten Pence, Id know it. Pence did show people a bruise on his arm back then, but that could have been from one of the many times President Trump walked all over him.
Ive never known a member of the Trump administration to tell an untruth, so I have no reason to disbelieve Pences harrowing account. Besides, there are many reasons the horse would have bitten the hand that leads him:
Pence told the stud that sex is only between one stallion and one mare, whom the stallion should call mother.
Pence advised American Pharoah not to eat oats with a mare unless others are present at the same trough.
