US VP Pence just ignored a 'Do Not Touch' sign at NASA and Twitter destroyed him
President Trump and his administration have been in the news for several reasons ever since he surprised the world by winning the elections. While Trump’s statements, actions and tweets have been creating a lot of noise as he is often slammed on social media, his deputy doesn’t seem to be far behind.
Mike Pence managed to trigger outrage on Twitter with his behaviour during a trip to NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. When the American vice president was shown flight hardware, he placed his hand right under a sign which read ‘Do Not Touch’.
The moment was captured on camera and became another embarrassment for Pence who saw students at University of Notre Dame walk out during his commencement speech in June. Twitterati too didn’t waste much time and was all over Pence with meme enthusiast and Photoshop artists showing no mercy.
Some had a hilarious take on the VP taking liberty to go ahead and touch the equipment,
Pence:....Shiny

Followed by those who pointed out how Pence isn’t very different from the president.

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

Mike Pence only violated the "Do Not Touch" sign to reassure Republicans that he's just as competent as Trump. #NASA pic.twitter.com/jM78hmFf3s

But the Photoshop battle over the image was the most ruthless of all.

For some reason, seeing Pence touch the thing that said DO NOT TOUCH made me think of this #FarSide cartoon.

While the Trump administration has had mixed reactions from people ever since the new president was elected, it has been making news for all the wrong reasons lately.
