People Are Trolling Vice President Mike Pence For Disobeying A “Do Not Touch” Sign
"In Pence's defense, 'DO NOT TOUCH' is in quotes."
Vice President Mike Pence is not the internet’s favourite person. Enabling a narcissistic demagogue will do that, I guess. So naturally, whenever the opportunity arises to mercilessly roast the guy, people tend to grab it with both hands.
One such opportunity came a little earlier this week, when photos emerged of the VP’s tour of the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. Specifically, the photos show Pence touching a piece of the Orion spacecraft, despite the presence of a sign clearly marked “do not touch”.
It could not have been clearer.

Pence later joked that Florida Senator Marco Rubio dared him to do it, while NASA tweeted that it was no big deal. But if you thought that was going to stop Twitter from getting stuck in, then you do not know much about Twitter.

Pence: It says do not touch
Trump: When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything

Mike Pence touching the thing that says in big red block letters "DO NOT TOUCH" is basically white privilege in a single image. pic.twitter.com/8gMDM6Me9X

Sure, mike pence ignored a “do not touch” sign, but NASA is protecting space equipment the same way you’d protect a yogurt at work

Yes, the internet was having great fun with its new meme. But Pence tried to get in on it and kind of ruined it for everyone.
