Karen Pence Faces Backlash for Snubbing Melania Trump in Public Exchange

Karen Pence, the wife of former Vice President Mike Pence, is under fire for what many are calling a "classless" and "disrespectful" snub of First Lady Melania Trump. During a recent public event, Pence was caught on video refusing to shake Melania’s hand, sparking outrage and sharp criticism.

The incident has caused a stir within conservative circles, where respect and decorum among political families are highly valued. By refusing a handshake—a universal gesture of civility—Pence's actions are being widely viewed as a deliberate slight. “This behavior falls far below the standards expected of someone who has held a prominent position in public life,” one commentator stated.
