Pence Tells America To ‘Spend More Time On Your Knees Than On The Internet’ – By Cristina Cabrera (Talking Points Memo) / Aug 6 2019

Vice President Mike Pence gave some advice on Tuesday that led to a headline he probably wasn’t asking for.

According to the Washington Times, Pence was holding a Q&A with the conservative group Alliance Defending Freedom when he began discussing the backlash over his wife working at a school that bans LGBTQ students and faculty.

Pence’s detractors needn’t worry about incurring his wrath over their reaction to his wife’s job, however. “Forgiveness is a great gift,” the vice president proclaimed.

But Pence’s “number one” piece of advice on dealing with criticism was this: “Spend more time on your knees than on the internet.”

Some Twitter users were quick to spot the innuendo:

It’s not the first time Pence has delivered an innuendo-adjacent quote:
