CLASS ACT: Charlotte Pence buys John Oliver's parody book; 'Happy to support charities'

You knew what place late-night host John Oliver’s heart was in when he announced his parody of Charlotte Pence’s book, “Marlon Bundo’s Day in the Life of the Vice President.”

Of course he made the rabbit protagonist gay — when will liberals (and Olympic athletes) learn this does not trigger the vice president — and said it would probably really piss off Mike Pence were his parody book to outsell the original.

As Twitchy reported, Charlotte Pence responded in the classiest way possible, telling Fox Business she hopes both books sell, as both are raising money for charity. The Hill reports that Pence even bought a copy of Oliver’s parody.

While Oliver seemed most concerned with “pissing off” the vice president, Charlotte Pence is promoting all of the charities involved: Fox Business reported that “proceeds from Oliver’s book go to The Trevor Project, a crisis intervention and suicide prevention service for LGBTQ youth, and AIDS United, while proceeds from Pence’s book will go to A21, a nonprofit dedicated to stopping human trafficking, as well as an art therapy program at the Riley Hospital for Children.”

The Hill reports:

“I have bought his book,” said the author of “Marlon Bundo’s A Day in the Life of the Vice President.”

“He’s giving proceeds of the book to charity, and we’re also giving proceeds of our book to charity, so I really think that we can all get behind it,” Pence told ITK on Wednesday.

…

“I also want to support those charities — I really mean that,” Charlotte Pence told ITK.
