His vote? She doesn’t even know what she is trying to get mad about.

Imagine thinking that the outgoing VP gets to select the next president

[vitoloiacono]

I am no fan of former Vice President Pence, but he handled himself, this woman and her ignorance flawlessly! He was polite, unreactive, firm and invited her to educate herself all while gracefully and firmly educating her. This is how a true Gentleman handles his business.

[Thestorminator]

Most American people talk about their constitutional rights, but they have never actually read the constitution. That's why politicians manipulate you.

[gamerztacz]

He smacked her with a civics lesson. He held his ground, and although I don’t like his stances on some policies and I’m a democrat, but he deserves respect for holding true to the rule of law…..

[MrEliaspalacios]

That lady isn't going to read anything, think about it, and much less apply it.

[deeh]

I’m no fan of Pence but I respect him for following the rule of law and refusing to be bullied into submission under the most extreme circumstances and such enormous pressure. They literally tied a rope up to hang him but he still followed the law and the constitution on the peaceful transference of power.

[kathleenkulp]

Well she just proved how ignorant his supporters are, also he just told her to educate herself……do you think it was lost on her?

[paulbritten]

The man upheld his oath! Nothing more, nothing less! Good for him.

[CuseStuckinWA]

This reminds me of when McCain was running against Obama and he constantly had to battle with the crazies

[lizliz]

He needs to be blunt/simple and say they were lied to.

[nelsonminator]

He told the truth because it's now convenient for him now...

[catmama]

This should be made into a PSA Public Service Announcement for TV.

[burnforce]

Very similar moment to when John McCain corrected that misinformed women in the audience, calling Obama an Arab.

[MikeFelix]

Talking to these people is like telling a toddler over and over again that they can't take free candy, that they'll get in trouble if they do and they do it anyway.

[RevolverOcelot]

All he needs to say is "if it was legal why didn't Gore do it in 2000 to make himself president?"

[kellyalvarado]

kudos to the ONE person who clapped at the end when he said "Trump was wrong"

[brynmawrbuilders]

At the most important moment…. Pence did the right thing. I’ll always be thankful that he did …

[karenhuff]

What they don't understand is that if the VP had that power, then Al Gore could have done so in 2000

[raj_kumar]

I am not a fan of Pence but he is absolutely correct

[stevet.]

It is amazing that he has to defend himself for upholding the constitution.
