So Pence or possibly a member of his team decided to shoot a campaign video at a gas station, probably aiming for that "just your average Joe" vibe. But oh boy, did it ever backfire.
Pence is trying his best to pump gas like a regular dude, but here's the kicker – he can't even figure out which fuel nozzle to pick! Or engage the pump! And to add some extra flair to the situation, there's this constant beeping sound in the background.
Clearly this guy doesn't fuel up too often...
Lmao

Some consultant told Mike Pence it would be a good idea to pretend to gas up a pickup Truck for a campaign video
The pump is literally beeping the entire video with the “select fuel type” message 😭pic.twitter.com/ftoeLauthr
Pretty humilating, right?
Just to add to the embarassment, here's some hilarious comments on the situation:
These types of ads are so fake and cringe
Everything about Mike Pence, and all that he does, is cringe
Karen actually allowed him out of the house by himself?
He doesn’t even squeeze the lever
This campaign is worse than DeSantis.
Surely he knows he has no chance of winning.
That dumb ass doesn’t even know how to put gas in a vehicle. Not only did he not select the gas type, but he also did engage the pump handle. He just stuck it in his tank and talked about Trump’s successful policies.
“Hey it’s me, just pumping gas while wearing a microphone.”
This is seriously just pathetic.
Pence is pretty much in the same boat as DeSantis – both of them are like textbook politicians, giving their all to come off as relatable to everyday Americans.
But here's the catch: it's all so darn fake, and folks can spot the insincerity from a mile away.
