Mike Pence Ignores NASA’s ‘Do Not Touch’ Sign, And The Internet’s Response Is Merciless
It appears that the President isn't the only one who has trouble keeping his hands to himself.
The Trump administration has once again managed to become a Twitter meme after VP Mike Pence was shown a piece of critical space flight hardware during a tour of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida - and plopped his hand down directly under a sign reading DO NOT TOUCH. Reuters photographer Mike Brown did the honors of capturing the moment, which is pretty much the funniest thing we've seen since the Trump orb.
It's the latest "negative press covfefe" Pence has faced since mid-June, when students at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, walked out at a commencement speech he was giving there. His comments made at this recent NASA tour are sure to cause even more problems, as he referred to space as "the heavens," and asserted that America would "rule over them." Star Wars, anyone? When you're famous, it seems, NASA lets you do whatever you want - even grabbing 'em by the hardware.
As expected, Twitter users sicked themselves on the VP's blunder like a pack of mad dogs, sparking a glorious overture of memes and Photoshop edits. Check out some of the most killer ones below, and if you're feeling brave, grab the raw images below and do your worst - just make sure to add it to our list!

He looks like he is trying to warm his hands. This is weird, he is weird
Now we know why he won't go out to eat with any other women ...
I think he is just as stupid as tRump. If he can't follow even the most basic instructions like don't touch how can he follow anything. Such stupidity in full view imagine behind closed doors!!??
Similis simili gaudet - speaking about Pence or Trump. They are incompetent and mentally disturbed. They fit to each other well. Imho.
Load More Replies...You really have to be a special kind of stupid to work in the White House...
Politicians can't read or maybe don't understand what their reading, or most likely feels it doesn't apply to them.
Load More Replies...None of us were there. They may have said, yes, go ahead and touch it. I'm sure there was a reason for this...I bet it was ok that he touched it. Gheesh. Media so desperate.
1) NASA's response was, "It was OK to touch the surface. Those are just day-to-day reminder signs. We were going to clean it anyway. It was an honor to host you!" And the funniest. 2) Pence himself tweeted this, so at least he knows how to laugh at himself. https://twitter.com/VP/status/883408914196332544
This happens literally every time I ask someone not to touch a painting im working on.
Can't touch this (oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh) Politicians be like: Yes, we can.
WOW! I would expect Trump to do stupid behavior like no follow directions... but Mike Pence???? Stupid got him contracted it from Trump!
Well, to his defense, it doesn't say Do not touch, it says "Do not touch" and the quotation marks leave it kinda ambiguous ...
NASA hosts tours to 3rd graders to get them interested in space. NASA hosts politicians to get funded. I am reasonably certain that they could march 10,000 3rd graders by that equipment and no one would raise a hand. But you put one idiot politician in there...Geez. I'm starting to think that Trump only selected Pence so that no one would dare impeach his butt know that that this turd is next up. My only question is why in the hell would you want to touch it?
Yep, he's a moron. Thinks rules don't apply to him. Absolutely agree. BUT - why, oh why, are there "quotes" around Do Not Touch?! Argghhh!!!
What harm would touching do to it anyway? I'm not saying he should have done but was just curious.
The rules are not made for him. Odd that nobody tried a girl. That would be a zinger for this guy.
This Pence does not worth a pence. Are these US leaders really so smart or they are just err - fake?!
See, this is the problem with guys like him. Pretty much from birth, they're taught that the rules don't apply to them, that they're above them. They don't consider for a moment what kind of effect their actions will have on others. I seriously doubt that he 'had permission', seeing as they likely PUT THE DAMNED SIGN THERE IN ANTICIPATION OF HIS VISIT. Sign looks brand new.
Dear Fool ....#1 Entitled much.?!!..#2 Yes, Yes I do think he would stick his hands on matters that have nothing to do with him....as evidenced by his politics and #3 In Life defend the defenseless not the entitled!
