Karen Pence, the wife of former Vice President Mike Pence, stirred controversy on Thursday when she declined to shake hands with Melania Trump during the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.
The incident occurred as the Trumps arrived at the Washington National Cathedral, making their first significant public appearance since Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election.
When you go to a wedding, and you run into someone you don't like, you politely say hello, and move on. Because you're an adult.
Karen Pence blanked the President-elect and his wife… in a church… at a funeral… as a Christian….
Pathetic.pic.twitter.com/3j5TKEXGQ0
