PENCE RECAPTURED AFTER FLEEING TRUMP CAMPAIGN BUS

VIRGINIA (The Borowitz Report)—Calling it a “scary moment” and a “close call,” Donald Trump’s campaign officials confirmed that they had recaptured Mike Pence after the Indiana governor attempted to flee the campaign bus in the early hours of Friday morning.

According to the campaign, Pence had asked to stop at a McDonald’s in rural Virginia so that he could use the bathroom, but aides grew concerned when the governor failed to reappear after twenty minutes.

After determining that Pence had given them the slip, Trump staffers fanned out across the Virginia backcountry, where the governor was believed to have fled.

News that Pence had vanished touched off a panic in Indiana, where residents feared that he might return to resume his political career.

I get the smell that Mikey Pence (R) is definitely on the #ComradeTrump Republican Iron-Fist Misanthrope Gut-the-Earth Bus. And that he's riding it as far as it will take him.

say "they won't let him get away again" ?? I wonder if the MSM has reported on this ??
It's comforting to know that krispy kreme is eager to jump in & save the campaign

Staffers tapped their cell phones for the nearest gay bar - and 20 minutes later - wah lah - they found Pence.
