Twitter reaction to Marlon Bundo was favorable.
my goal for 2017 is to befriend the Pence family so I can get close to their rabbit, Marlon Bundo https://t.co/8b80f0uTfy

OK… I’ve been a Pence skeptic, but the fact that he has a rabbit called Marlon Bundo has softened me. https://t.co/OzXvQo87Dy

The rabbit’s name is MARLON BUNDO and this makes me very happy/I can’t stop laughing. https://t.co/S3oj8QVJSh

Marlon Bundo has made regular public appearances for Indiana Statehood Day since at least 2014.

Though the incoming vice president has been in and out of Washington since the election, Monday’s trip “emotionally” signified “them coming to D.C.,” an aide said.
Karen Pence and daughter Charlotte each carried a cat off the plane. Marlon Bundo was carried off by aides.
