Mike Pence Mercilessly Mocked For New Vid With 1 Gassy Flaw

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Mike Pence released a new campaign video about rising energy prices in which he seemingly pumps gas into his pickup truck as he talks.

But critics quickly noticed a few flaws in the ad from the former vice president, who is polling far behind Donald Trump in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

He didn’t insert a credit card or any other form of payment.

He didn’t select a grade for his fuel.

And he never actually squeezed the trigger on the handle.

Here’s the former US vice president, pretending to pump his own gas:

Critics from the left and right alike mocked Pence for the obvious error:

You do know you have to actually squeeze the handle... right Mike? 😉 pic.twitter.com/6uoMBU6SAz

Pence is running for president in 1992 and this was probably filmed with a camcorder. 😂

Poor worker inside going “Why won’t this dude select his grade?” https://t.co/Mgx6Z2dupE

How can this dipstick fix our energy independence when he can’t even push the button that chooses which octane gas he wants to make the ‘beeping’ sound stop?!#HardPass https://t.co/DVFUKlmtQh

You forgot to select the fuel type, that is why it is beeping in the background. An easy mistake to make if you have lived in a bubble your whole life. https://t.co/1dWEzr7hB1

Usually you have to pull up on the lever of the nozzle to pump fuel ...

Someone on Mike Pence’s team should have taught him how average Americans pump gas.

Dude is beyond out of touch.

He’s not even squeezing the handle.

Also, the beeping… make a fuel selection my dude. https://t.co/0jBJjYRQ54

Mike Pence lets the "select a grade" beeper sound the whole time he pretends to pump gas https://t.co/ZZjbgAiT8D pic.twitter.com/LHsyKbb8h5
