Earlier today, GOP vice presidential candidate Mike Pence shared some very sad news with his Twitter followers:

Heavy hearts today. Our beagle of 13 years passed away quietly last night. Rest In Peace, Maverick. We will miss you. pic.twitter.com/JPnFvsHB3Y

I'm no Mike Pence fan, but this is a weird & crude headline.
