Karen Pence refused to acknowledge President-elect Donald Trump and Melania Trumpas they arrived at the Washington National Cathedral Thursday for the funeral of President Jimmy Carter. The former second lady was seated next to her husband, former Vice President Mike Pence, and remained seated as the Trumps arrived.
She made no effort to shake hands with Melania Trump, who she worked hand-in-hand with when their husbands were in office during Trump's first term. Mike Pence shook hands with Donald Trump after former Vice President Al Gore did the same. It was their first public interaction since 2021. Karen Pence remained seated, looking forward, the whole time.

In other "related" news......
"Former first lady Michelle Obama did not attend the state funeral Thursday for former President Jimmy Carter."
"Except for Michelle Obama, all of the living former presidents and their spouses were at the funeral, including Barack Obama, sitting in the front pews of Washington National Cathedral behind only President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris and their spouses."
"Michelle Obama’s office confirmed she did not attend the funeral but did not say where she was or why she was absent."
That is all for now.

The wife of a J6 co conspirator won't shake the hand of the victim of the conspiracy. There, I fixed it.

The Daily Fail exaggerates-I watched the vid and she Mrs. Pence sat in her seat like a good little nobody, right next to her husband Mike "Backstabber' Pence and the Inventor of The Internet himself.

Second post apologies, but Mike Obama is in Hawaii on vacation.

#4, she is still in Hawaii on an extended vacation and couldn't be bothered, it seems.
As for Karen Pence, it's her choice to be gracious or not. Not likely to hear from her or her husband much in the future. Might want to ask Dan Quayle about life after being VP.

Another fine display of the Pence’s extolled “Christianity”, I guess. But, her ugly display of pettiness hasn’t matched his actions yet.

Why is she mad at the Trump's? It was her husband that screwed the country by validating an obviously crooked election result. By Jan. 6th, the amount of fraud was well known and documented.

I agree with #7. The video i watched hardly shows any staring down. Maybe you had to be there. Obumbum didn’t wanna get Macrooned. Probably smart on his part. Big Mike just wants to enjoy the wealth bestowed upon her by the Deep State, muslim brotherhood, etc; i don’t blame her. Why get dressed, go to the airport, take a plane ride, travel to the funeral for some peanut farmer when you can just lounge around? Hopefully that’s all she wants and the Dim Machine won’t want to run her for president since they seem to be out of celebrities that the public wants to have burning that place down.

Ho, hum. So what. Gossip. In other related news. ~~ Not exactly. Considering the VIP stature of the people involved, civility/courtesy/politeness would be anticipated but such behavior seems to have become a thing of the past and replaced by hostile/rude/unprincipled behavior . From an honest human nature perspective, the behavior of Karen Pence is disgraceful/frustrating. From a Judeo-Christian perspective, the behavior of Karen Pence is understandable based on whatever wrongs she harbors within her being that might include such a demonstration being in defense of her husband in what she may perceive to be the victim of unjust accusations by President Trump. If that might be the rationale for her behavior, to be so rude to Melania Trump was disrespectful/impolite/needless. Without judging/condemning Karen Pence, such behavior is, sadly, a poor reflection of how people of faith are to behave.

What an arrogant little tool Karen Pence is. She talks a Christian game but acts anything but Christian. Pathetic.

Mike Pence did it to himself on January 6, 2021, then compounded his mistake by trashing his former boss, never imagining that Trump would rise again. He chose poorly. Not Trump's fault.

Mrs. Pence didn't snub anyone. She is the spouse of a former VP and remained seated while the former VP's politely shook hands with former and future president Trump. Mike Pence also shook hands with Melania as she was standing next to her husband. There was no need for Mrs. Pence to stand and greet anyone. It's a funeral for Pete's sake - not a political meet and greet.

Stumpy little brown mouse Karen was always visibly jealous of gorgeous talented Melania. Intimidated by her - but intimidation is in the eye of the beholder.

Althougth we weren't there the pjhotos only show Karen staring at her lap as the Trumps rentered. She did not acknowledge Merlania when she came toward her.
PDJT did not ask Pence to trash or throw out any electoral college votes. He did ask, per the rules, that any that were questionable could be sent back to the respective state(s) for review before being certified. Pence declined to do so;

The news people love to stir up trouble. I don't know what the Pences and it's not Pence's, were thinking, but I'll be catty about Michelle Obama and say she probably thought she was too good to attend because of how they were treated for eight years. Yep, that's what I think.

#23~ “Mrs. Pence didn’t snub anyone. ... There was no need for Mrs. Pence to stand and greet anyone. It's a funeral for Pete's sake - not a political meet and greet.” / A variety of news sources described Karen Trump’s behavior as a “snub” to Melania Trump:

Regarding "no need for Karen Pence to stand and greet anyone and that a funeral and not a political meet and greet," it has been customary not only for family members of the deceased to greet guests with warmth, but also for guests to greet guests with warmth. To insist that Karen Spence’s behavior was not a snub, reference the article and video pasted below that was posted to this salon at 2:12 PM and take special note of Karen Spence’s animated greetings for George and Laura Bush at the 2:01 mark and for Hillary and Bill Clinton at the 2:48 mark.

YIKES: THE TENSE AND AWKWARD MOMENTS AT JIMMY CARTER'S FUNERAL

#28~ Correct, Karen Pence did not acknowledge Melania Trump as evidenced by the video posted at the link above but clearly show Karen Pence’s greeting for George and Laura Bush as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton.

#25~ Considering Melania Trump’s dignified manner and proper etiquette, the look on her face is not likely that of a “seething queen” but more a mix of hurt for the personal affront by Karen Spence with a rekindling of how President and Mrs. Trump have been treated by political elitists and the mainstream media these past years—a sad confirmation of the next term in office likely to be no different. While there may be little, if any, comfort for her to know, there are people of faith appreciating, respecting, and praying for President Trump and his family.
“Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. ...” (Psalm 37:1-9)
