One snarky tweet read, “But unlike Will and Oprah, @VP hasn’t brought joy to any person’s life at all.”

Being a heartbeat away from the presidency may have gone to Mike Pence’s head ― because he’s comparing himself to Oprah.

During a campaign rally for Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp, the vice president pointed out that Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams has attracted Oprah Winfrey and Will Ferrell to the state to campaign on her behalf.

“Like, I heard Oprah was in town today. And I heard Will Ferrell was going door to door the other day. Well, I’d like to remind Stacey and Oprah and Will Ferrell — I’m kind of a big deal, too,” Pence told the crowd.

Although Pence was obviously joking since he was paraphrasing a line said by Ron Burgundy, Ferrell’s character in the “Anchorman” films, many Twitter users decided it would be funnier to take his comments seriously.

They were right.

Never bring a Mike Pence to an Oprah fight

But unlike Will and Oprah, @VP hasn’t brought joy to any person’s life at all.

With all due respect Mr. Vice President, I am not a Democrat and I voted for you. I pray for you and the President everyday. However I watched Oprah this morning and it was a class act. I feel that even mentioning it just makes you look fearful. Makes Republicans look weak.

But that wasn’t even Oprah’s or Will’s point. They weren’t there because they were a big deal. Playing different games here. Narcissism versus Generosity.

3. to quote John Nance Garner the vice-presidency is not worth a
