John Oliver Attacks Mike Pence Over Harmless Bunny Book
Townhall.com ^ | March 2018 | Cortney O'Brien

Second lady Karen Pence and her daughter Charlotte Pence published a children's book this week about their pet bunny Marlon Bundo, who offers readers a glimpse into a day in the life of the vice president. Charlotte penned the poetry in the book, while Mrs. Pence drew the illustrations. I had the chance to speak with them about the project a few weeks ago. They were excited for the opportunity to share their talents and to offer a fun educational lesson on the office of the vice presidency. They also dished on what an honor it is to serve.

While bunny rabbits are about the most nonpartisan thing I can think of, somehow the book is being used to attack the vice president. HBO host John Oliver, with the help of his staff, offered his own version of the Marlon Bundo book on his program Sunday, turning the bunny gay. Why? Because one of the stops on the Pences' book tour is an "anti-LGBT organization," more accurately known as Focus on the Family.

“This is a real children’s book," Oliver said of his "better Bundo book." "This isn’t some adult book telling Mike Pence to go f*** himself. Although, in buying it, that’s exactly what you’d be doing.”

The Huffington Post seemed to be amused and suggested Pence had it coming since he's so "notoriously hostile to LBGTQ rights."

All proceeds from Oliver's "better Bundo book" will be donated to the Trevor Project, he said, which supports LGBTQ youth, and the AIDS United charity. 

The original book, Marlon Bundo's Day in the Life of the Vice President, is available here. The proceeds from that title are going toward an art therapy program called Tracy's Kids and a nonprofit, A21, working to fight slavery and sex trafficking.

I have never thought that this guy was funny. He’s a self-righteous smart ass who can hardly contain his grin as he calls conservatives stupid. His whole routine is calling conservatives stupid. I guess that’s not much different than any other “comedian” on TV these days. So now he makes fun of Mike Pence’s daughter’s book based on the misconception that Mike Pence hates gay people. Its so insipid and banal. Its painfully bad. But yet he grins and giggles his way through the routine as if its the most brilliant insight going.

He looks like some queer, and then I read the text and...he is!

Who gives a damn what the stinking pedophile thinks.

“All proceeds from Oliver’s “better Bundo book” will be donated to the Trevor Project, he said, which supports LGBTQ youth, and the AIDS United charity. “
Translation: Proceeds, if any, will go to support the current deviant and repulsive lifestyles and the horrific diseases that they spread.

He was picked last for dodgeball in third grade because he threw like a girl.

This has turned him homosexual.

Honestly, why would ANYONE care what some lame Cockney who couldn’t cut it in his OWN country thinks of the politics of ours? He’s not an American citizen and his rantings don’t mean shit.

It's going to be a real-Mitt storm if the Left ever gets in power again, now that open sedition and all other manners of filthy behavior are on the table.

Except our side is going to be voting from the rooftops...

I’m surprised that Oliver didn’t write a book about a rabbit entitled “Oh, Bungholes and My Rabbit”.

What a pathetic piece of shit this guy is. I guess that is why he is on whatever TV - CNN?, MSBNC?

Wait till they create a “Gay TV” network. He’s be the first in line, for the guests.

more proof that homosexuality is a mental disorder... those suffering from it seem to be very unstable.

He is not funny. Just another lefty spewing hate at Republicans, like Noah whats his name who follows him. A liberal fool. I was forced to watch his trash show recently where he denied there were “no go zones” in Europe.

I am hoping some other candidate emerges by then.

Pence is the guy who pushed Flynn out the door and I suspect there are some coup communications Pence has let drop sometime, somewhere.

Oliver I think he is the guy who mocked Mohammed.

Leftists are haters, and - since their smug sense of moral superiority requires them to praise and defend Islam against all the evidence - they focus their hate and mockery on Christians and Christianity, which is now acceptable amongst the elite. For them, Pence and his family are the main face of Christianity in public life.
