Mike Pence’s accidental innuendo brought the internet to its knees (NSFW) – 13 comebacks
Under Donald Trump, you could be forgiven for thinking that the “vice” part of Vice President meant something other than “deputy”, but Mike Pence is a full-on bible-thumping Christian, although he’d never thump a bible, because …respect, right? With a lot of arguing going on about the efficacy of thoughts and prayers in a gun crisis, Pence stepped in with his hot take on how to cope with the criticisms of modern society.
In an on-brand address to the anti-LGBT group, Alliance Defending Freedom, he urged them to pray more, saying:
“Spend more time on your knees than on the internet.”
He can’t have been too happy that the Twitter community decided to interpret his call to prayer in a more NSFW way, some of it very NSFW. You have been warned.

Uh, Mr. Pence, isn't what you do on your knees something you also have called un-Christian in the past?

I can think of several positions where I or my partner are on our knees and it brings me great joy! And orgasms!

Michael Cera is trending because he heard that Mike Pence said to "spend more time on your knees than on the internet" so he collapsed from the Tobias-like lack of self awareness. #ArrestedDevelopment pic.twitter.com/y8WZQbIVhq

There was another, more political interpretation of his comment, when some people brought up the topic of the NFL footballers’ protest, in which they “took the knee” during the national anthem at matches, in protest at police brutality against the black community.

So now, he’s a supporter of Colin Kaepernick?

.@VP Spend more time on my knees than on the internet, but DON’T kneel during the anthem? This is a fucking flowchart.

Remember when Mike Pence went on the internet to express his displeasure with a gentleman who was down on his knees? https://t.co/9lvFQNwuMr

We shouldn’t be surprised at his “oo-er, missus” moment, considering his form on accidental innuendo.
