Great. Political shows, which are chock full of conservatives during Democratic and Republican administrations alike, will have one more noisebox to trumpet his former boss’s terrible policies.

Trump famously committed to preventing officials from profiting from their service in his administration when they left, via a ban on post-employment lobbying.

So now you don’t call yourself a lobbyist. You’re a surrogate.

Pence wanted to hear this news over a private dinner with Lotter. But he can’t eat alone with another man. Wait, do I have that right?

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Wait a minute - they ALL claim they are stepping down to work from the outside on Trump’s agenda?

Right.

Because apparently Trump’s “agenda” works better without Trump. Hey, Hitler is long dead but his “agenda” lives on. Trump probably thinks “agenda” is “vernacular” for something female…

Wait, what? He’s stepping down to have Trump and Pence’s baby? What does “Mother think of THAT?!?”

Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary Marc Lotter will leave the White House at the end of the month to serve as a “top surrogate”

Surrogate for what? Like being a surrogate for a cannibalistic squirrel and a rabid wombat.

So who’ll be paying Lotter’s salary? Pence or American taxpayers?

The Koch brothers and/or Fox “News”; maybe Breitbart will kick in a portion. The taxpayers have already been soaked for enough cash.

He’s a Schrödinger spokesman. Don’t peek in the box, you’ll ruin it.

this is the new “spend time with my family.” The old “spend time with my family” isn’t credible anymore because their family hates them.

Does a “top surrogate” for the Turmpence administration willfully absorb the abuse and ridicule directed at the principals? Perform acts of self flagellation on Fox?

Stepping Down To Do ‘Surrogate’ Work For VP And Trump?
… going to bear a child for them?
actually sounds more like he is going to be a professional “Shill” for the Trump carnival

Seriously though - why would anyone trust this face?

Guessing this guy was involved in Pence’s brief (and roundly mocked) effort to establish a governor’s media outlet (re: propaganda) - which got announced and pulled back almost immediately when it was pointed out that each gov agency had their own pr offices and that the initiative was both fiscally wasteful as well as stinking of gov manipulation. In short, another spox for these fools who falls short in the mental toolbox.
