Oh, Karen

Karen Pence accused Pete Buttigieg of using her husband for attention. It didn’t go well for her.

Karen Pence can have a whole stadium of seats.

While promoting her crappy new picture book “Marlon Bundo’s Day in the Nation’s Capital,” her second children’s book about the Pence family rabbit, Karen (a.k.a. Mother) took a moment to trash Pete Buttigieg on Brian Kilmeade’s radio show.

Mrs. Pence was responding to remarks Buttigieg made Sunday at the Victory Fund LGBTQ brunch where he said, “I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand, that if you have a problem with who I am, your quarrel is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”

Naturally, Mother/Karen was none too pleased about this.

“I think in our country we need to understand you shouldn’t be attacked for what your religious beliefs are,” she quipped. “I think it’s helping Pete to get some notoriety by saying that about the vice president.”

Oh, Karen. Mayor Pete already has plenty of notoriety, as evidenced by the $7 million he’s raised for his 2020 presidential campaign. He doesn’t need your husband’s “help” with anything.

Needless to say, Lady #2’s remarks didn’t go over so well on Twitter…
