Mike Pence Jokes That Prove Everyone Is A Comedian When It Comes To Politics

by Allison Piwowarski

If you're reading this, then you know that there's an election happening this November and boy does it have people talking. At the current moment, the attention is on Donald Trump — shocker — who has possibly chosen a Vice President pick, of that Mr. Mike Pence of Indiana. (The pick was not official at the time of publication, but news sources were reporting on it.) Because this is 2016, and Twitter is very much a thing, we've rounded up some of the funniest jokes about Mike Pence, because everyone is a comedian when it comes to politics.

UPDATE: Trump confirmed Pence as his Vice Presidential running mate in a tweet Friday morning and said he would host a news conference on Saturday.

Whether you know nothing a la Jon Snow, or know all the things about the current landscape in our political sphere, it is hard to ignore the fact that Mike Pence is a thing now. Whether it proves to be true or not — Trump has announced that he will make his VP pick known officially on Friday, July 15 — Twitter is having a field day with the Mike Pence possibility.

If Mike Pence does end up as the VP pick for Donald Trump's run for the White House, then I can only assume that the jokes will keep rolling in. For now, enjoy some memes, puns, and Mary Poppins jokes until that official announcement happens.

We'll have to wait and see just what else manages to come out, but as for now, let's all enjoy the new gig the internet gained on Thursday, July 14. Whether it's about politics or pop culture, they're never silent about becoming comedians. Soon, we'll see Twitter Comedian on LinkedIn's everywhere. We can only hope.
