WALSH: Desperate Media Accuses Mike Pence Of Sexism For Debating A Woman During A Debate Against A Woman

It was not a surprise to see Vice President Mike Pence win the debate against Senator Kamala Harris, a woman who threatens at times to make Hillary Clinton appear genuine and likable by comparison. But it was perhaps unexpected to see Pence — in his polite, understated, midwestern way — dominate and humiliate Harris to such an extent that the mainstream media was forced to make headlines out of the fly that landed on his head for two minutes. Anything to distract from the substance of his performance. Anything to avoid the real headline: Mike Pence Wins Big.

The fly was not the only headline to come out of the debate, according to our diligent journalist class. Mike Pence also had one eye that was a little red. This provided fodder for extensive commentary from Forbes, Buzzfeed, the Los Angeles Times, and other esteemed publications. Also, Mike Pence’s wife, Karen, appeared on stage to congratulate her husband after the debate and was not wearing a mask, which provoked indictments from the Huffington Post, Newsweek, and the New York Times. Imagine their shock and horror should they learn that Karen Pence also presumably doesn’t wear a mask when she sleeps in the same bed as her husband, or sits on the sofa next to him to watch TV, or spends much of her life in close proximity to him.
