Mike Pence was all bent out of shape that celebrity "outsiders" like Oprah Winfrey and Will Ferrell campaigned door-to-door for Stacey Abrams in the Georgia gubernatorial race. "This ain't Hollywood," he mewled. "I’d like to remind Stacey and Oprah and Will, I’m kind of a big deal, too."
No, you're not, Mike. You're a very, very small deal. And your candidate in Georgia had to steal the election and suppress votes to win. Brian Kemp's legitimacy is in enough doubt now that his name will be synonymous with "Pyrrhic." (And incoming House Oversight and Government Relations Committee Chair Elijah Cummings is getting ready to investigate.)
Meanwhile, we have a question: Did Mike Pence knock doors for his chosen candidate? Because if Pence is such a "big deal," he should know that one of his predecessors as Vice President has done just that. Check out this story about Walter Mondale canvassing with Senator Max Baucus in Billings, Montana, 1978.
It sure would be great if the press would push back on these Trumpsters with, you know, actual political history. We cats HISS.
