It didn’t take long for many left-wing Twitter users to find amusement in the situation. One activist, Barbara Malmet, lamented that it wasn’t “Stephen Miller’s wife.” Miller, Trump’s top immigration advisor, recently married Pence’s press secretary, Katie Waldman.

It’s getting closer…no, the staffer is not Stephen Miller’s wife, which was the first thing I wondered. https://t.co/hLTuZClSo8

All of this comes two days after Politico Columnist Jeff Greenfield joked that Pence has an “electrified belt around his waist and if he speaks for more than 7 seconds without praising the President, a White House aide presses a button and Pence suffers a painful shock.”

Have some sympathy for MIke Pence. I’ve learned that there is an electrified belt around his waist and if he speaks for more than 7 seconds without praising the President, a White House aide presses a button and Pence suffers a painful shock.
