Internet shocked to learn US VP 'won't dine alone with a woman who isn't his wife'
US Vice President Mike Pence‘s conservative dining habits have gone viral.
Ahead of a profile feature on second lady Karen Pence, Washington Post reporter Ashley Parker tweeted that Donald Trump‘s deputy never dines alone a woman other than his wife, “nor does he attends events w alcohol, w/o her by his side”.

The response was immediate. Many were quick to mock the couple for their old-fashioned values, pondering what would happen if Mr Pence was required to meet with Theresa May, say, or Angela Merkel. Would Karen have to come too?

Some noted that this wasn’t exactly a new revelation – the words were actually the VP’s own, taken from an interview he gave back in 2002.
He called it “building a zone around your marriage”, adding “If there’s alcohol being served and people are being loose, I want to have the best-looking brunette in the room standing next to me.”
