Why Pence Is So Good at Being Evil
Author and Daily Beast Editor-at-Large Goldie Taylor is, um, not exactly Mike Pence\u2019s biggest fan. \u201cHe does things that boil me,\u201d she tells Molly Jong-Fast on the latest episode of The New Abnormal. Take that fake gentility of Pence\u2019s. He\u2019s the kind of guy who\u2019s \u201calways genteel when he tells you, you shouldn't be in the room with him. He's always genteel when he tells you that because of his manness, his whiteness, his superiority, that he's better than you.\u201d Molly is right there with Goldie, saying of Pence, \u201che is good at being evil in a way that Trump is not.\u201d Rick Wilson adds, \u201cMike Pence wasn't as shouty as Donald Trump [in this week\u2019s debate], he was still as dickish as Donald Trump in every possible respect.\u201d Speaking of debates, Rick sizes up Trump\u2019s threat to skip the next one. (Bluff.) Molly muses about \u201cFox Business, the last bastion of the impossibly racist.\u201d (\u201cImagine if Lou Dobbs gets me deported, that would be like the greatest moment of my life,\u201d she says.) And Mike Espy talks about his run for U.S. Senate in Mississippi. Plus! Trump\u2019s imaginary girlfriend! Pence\u2019s shellacked head! Stephen Miller\u2019s kitten rampage! Steroid rages! Bill Barr\u2019s strange absence! Michigan militia-fails! And super-spreader events: the new Republican brand!
