President Trump is pushing back against recent criticism of certain boundaries Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen Pence have established, telling reporters on Friday that his second-in-command has a “good marriage going.”

“He has one hell of a good marriage going,” Trump said of Pence during the signing of two executive orders.
The president patted Pence on the arm as he made the comment, a gesture Pence then returned.
The president’s comment comes days after the Washington Post published a profile of second lady Karen Pence that detailed certain rules she and the vice president have set forth in their marriage.
Two of the rules – that Mike Pence will not dine alone with another woman or go solo to events where alcohol is being served – drew outrage and mockery from the Left.
Sincere question. How is this different from extreme repressive interpretations of Islam (“Sharia Law!”) mocked by people like Mike Pence

Is Mike Pence a robot sent to us from 1600s Virginia, a closet philanderer, or just a regular old sexist?
Good news: he can be all three! https://t.co/NdXnHfCI99
