Former Vice President Mike Pence is being mocked online after sharing a new campaign ad of himself at a gas station, filling the tank of a red pickup truck…..he only forgot one thing…
THE GAS!
The ad itself isn’t terrible and wouldn’t be quite the subject of ridicule if Pence had actually pumped gas during his speech. However, after hopping out of the truck and placing the gas pump nozzle into his vehicle, he never pays or selects the grade of fuel he needs.
Then the icing on the cake: he does not even hold down the fuel lever!
Not to mention, the entire time he speaks, you can hear the pump beeping at him to at least select the fuel grade. Sheesh, it’s like the man has never pumped his own gas before!

Whoever thought that tossing him in a pickup truck would appeal to the Republican base did not think about the fact that we would notice if he was pumping gas or not.
People quickly took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to mock the presidential candidate and his “Pence Plan.”
“Pence has no clue how to pump gas,” wrote the right-wing “End Wokeness” account. “Who thought this was a good idea?”

“Lmao,” johnny maga mocked. “Some consultant told Mike Pence it would be a good idea to pretend to gas up a pickup Truck for a campaign video The pump is literally beeping the entire video with the ‘select fuel type’ message [loudly crying face emoji].”

“Mike Pence posted a video of himself gassing up a pickup truck,” laughed conservative influencer Ian Miles Cheong. “The fuel pump that asks you to select your gas type is beeping the entire time. He has clearly never pumped his own gas. Who thought this was a good idea?”

“Hey Pence- Try paying for the gas first, maybe the pump will stop beeping throughout your entire campaign ad,” wrote the blue check marked account RoamingRN.

“You absolute idiot,” Joey Mannarino taunted. “You have to select the type of gas that you want before you stick the thing in the gas hole. Then, you have to press the lever to make the gas actually come out! Are you stupid? It’s obvious you haven’t pumped gas in years!”
You absolute idiot. You have to select the type of gas that you want before you stick the thing in the gas hole.
Then, you have to press the lever to make the gas actually come out!
Are you stupid? It's obvious you haven't pumped gas in years!

The responses are as endless as they are merciless. Perhaps Pence’s team should be a little more observant before sharing content, because videos like this will have voters eating him alive.
The video also omits opening the fuel cap and paying. Every pump I have ever seen requires either using a card at the pump, or paying the cashier inside before it will start pumping.
It seems that everything about Pence is phony.
Maybe he was electrified!
Is it an electric vehicle. ????????????
