The Best Twitter Reactions to Mike Pence Using a Personal Email Address
Yesterday, USA Today reported that Vice President Mike Pence used a personal AOL email account for business, "at times discussing sensitive matters and homeland security issues," while he served as governor of Indiana. The account was even hacked last summer.
A statement from Pence's team noted that using personal emails is not illegal for public officials in Indiana, but critics were quick to note the Vice President's hypocrisy, after he routinely condemned Hillary Clinton for using a private server while she was Secretary of State. They took to Twitter to respond.
Mike Pence wakes up and logs into AOL. His eyes widen. "Mother!" he yells excitedly to his wife. "Mother, did you hear? I've got mail!"

If you pretended to care about Hillary's emails for two years, but don't care about the #PenceEmails scandal - that's called sexism.

REMINDER: @HillaryClinton's emails are still the ONLY ONES THAT DIDN'T GET HACKED. #PenceEmails pic.twitter.com/qs6G3yczjD

Hillary: email could have been hacked!
Pence: email was hacked.
Sessions: talked to the hackers.- Nicholas Thompson (@nxthompson) March 3, 2017
I want to be afraid of him, but hearing that Mike Pence used AOL is like finding out the Babadook uses a flip phone.

It is so hard not to troll conservatives today when they defend #PenceEmails. The irony is so rich. pic.twitter.com/tZFeaUT4e1

Trump hides his taxes. Flynn lies to FBI. Pence lies to the public. Spicer lies to the press. Sessions lies to Congress. But yeah no issues.

Republicans- LOCK HER UP! Her private emails put everyone in jeopardy!
Republicans- Mike Pence is cool. Everyone uses AOL. Not his fault.- Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) March 3, 2017
If you were outraged by Hillary's but not #PenceEmails you're gonna have to stop pretending it was national security you cared about. pic.twitter.com/66IV5njV8v

It is OK for Mike Pence to use personal email for the same reason it's OK for Jeff Sessions to lie to Congress! THEY ARE NOT CALLED HILLARY!
