Indiana Governor Mike Pence has understandably spent a good deal of time away from his own state since he became Donald Trumps running mate and hit the national campaign trail. So when northern Indiana was hit by severe tornado damage on Wednesday afternoon, it wasnt a surprise that Pence was in North Carolina at the time. Whats shocking is after he learned his home state was in tatters and in need of immediate disaster management, he went ahead and held a rally in North Carolina anyway.
One might have expected Mike Pence, if not in the name of doing the right thing then at least in the name of optics, to drop what he was doing on the campaign trail and head straight back to Indiana. Instead he not only went through with the North Carolina rally, he then did a promotional interview with Fox News. Only then did he head home.
This bizarre puff piece from the usually more reliable Politico tries to find a way to praise Pence for not staying on the campaign trail for yet another day in Ohio before heading home. But the reality is that he delayed his return to Indiana so he could keep campaigning in North Carolina.
Strangely, this comes shortly after Donald Trump and Mike Pence attempted to use the flooding disaster in Louisiana to their advantage by cruising into the state for an absurd photo op which essentially consisted of Trump handing a case of Play-Doh to Pence before throwing in the towel. Trump tried to spin that as a victory, even as he inaccurately accused President Obama of ignoring the situation........................
