Pence spoke Thursday night at the hotel, during a gala put on by the Concerned Women for America, a 40-year-old conservative nonprofit organization that says it promotes “Biblical values and Constitutional principles.” Tickets to that event cost at least $99, according to the group’s website.
The speech came after Pence was already in the middle of a firestorm for using taxpayer resources to stay at Trump’s private club in Ireland, even though it was hundreds of miles and required a coast to coast flight for Pence to attend his daily meetings.

Trump has turned the entire Executive Branch into a money-making scam for his family and his business, and Mike Pence is just as dirty as Donald Trump.
Pence is allowing himself to be pimped out for presidential profit, and that is why the Trump stink will never come off of Mike Pence and political career will end with Trump’s.
