A New York Times review of Piety & Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House by Tom LoBianco includes this amazing anecdote on the vice president’s wife, Karen.
“Her influence seems significant. The cherry-red telephone on his desk as governor was a direct line to Karen, who maintained an office across the statehouse atrium but preferred phone conversations to avoid prying eyes. Karen ‘was livid’ at Trump’s prurient comments in the Access Hollywood tape, but her husband concluded it was too late to drop off the ticket. On election night, 2016, Karen refused to kiss Pence.”
Said Karen: “You got what you wanted, Mike. Leave me alone.”
