We’re not sure what Mike Pence ever did to Patton Oswalt, but apparently it merits nasty homophobic jokes.
Pence recently explained how he handles the often vicious criticism that’s sent his way:

“No. 1 is spend more time on your knees than on the internet,” Pence said of how he handles critics during a “fireside chat” at an Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) event.
“As a Christian believer, we’re charged to pray for our loved ones but also pray for our enemies. You have lots of opportunities in politics to do that,” Pence told ADF CEO Michael Farris.
“Forgiveness is a great gift, and my wife and I literally try to work through forgiving people who might speak woefully against us or might mischaracterize who we are and what our family’s all about,” he added.
Pence’s comment about spending more time on your knees, i.e. in prayer, than online was just the sort of low-hanging fruit Oswalt was looking for:
“I misspoke. What I meant to say is, ‘I don’t waste time on these low-blow dudes. That’s why when I’m on my knees all of my blow dudes are high.’” https://t.co/R2M03HPgRM

Get it? Get it???
“I mean praying. It’s a job you do on your knees, as well as a humbling hand job when you steeple them together. What’s to misconstrue?”

Pence seems like he spends a lot of time on his knees reaching for the high-blow.

“Let’s try this again, the internet is a hole to all that is unholy. I prefer my holes holy and glorious. This is why you will always find me on my knees at a glory hole. Thank you, no more questions.”

Is there an app on your phone that tells you how much time you spend on your knees? Mike’s gonna need that or he’ll probably lose count.

To be clear: I hope that some day Pence discovers true happiness in blowing a long string of anonymous dudes, if that’s his thing. That would be nice, if that’s what he likes. It’s his hypocrisy and violence toward others that makes him bad, not his obvious closeted gayness.

Maybe this is why Trump is always "cocked and loaded"!

So hilarious and also clever. Hilarious and clever.
The homophobia from you and people in the comments is amazing.
— CountryGuy (@CountryGuy_01) August 8, 2019
Well, we all know that homophobia is perfectly acceptable when it’s directed at Republicans and conservatives.
Nice homophobia

Gay jokes are funny now
— whizwith (@Lopper11) August 8, 2019
You’re the most woke when making gay jokes about Republicans. Right?
— NHiriteInSouth (@NHiriteInSouth) August 8, 2019
The joke is that Pence is gay, which is funny because it humiliates him because there's nothing wrong with being gay https://t.co/u0oxzNMWX8

It's funny because being gay is bad
— [shrug emoji] (@jtLOL) August 8, 2019
Being gay is the worst!!! Am I doing this right?

Homophobic.
If you use homosexuality in any way to insult someone else, YOU are the bigot, Patton.
