Former Vice President Mike Pence was asked about his wife Karen Pence’s apparent snub of President-elect Donald Trump at the funeral service of former President Jimmy Carter.
Footage of the former second lady remaining seated and not shaking Trump’s hand went viral last week.
Christianity Today’s Russell Moore asked Pence about the moment in an interview. Pence commented: “You’d have to ask my wife about her posture but we’ve been married 44 years and she loves her husband and her husband respects her deeply.”
Karen Pence has not commented on what went down.
