Mike Pence was hardly a sentence into his introductory remarks at Longwood University in Virginia, the site of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, when he made his first mistake.
“Well, first off, thank you Elaine, and thank you to Norwood University for their wonderful hospitality,” Pence began, misnaming his location.
Twitter users took note:
Good start, Pence. #NorwoodUniversity #GoWood #VPDebate

Historic evening. How generous of Mike Pence to bestow @longwoodu with a new name to commemorate the #VPDebate #NorwoodUniversity

Indeed, there is a Norwood University, as of October 4, 2016:
Norwood University thanks Mike Pence for the shout out.

Watch below:
what a maroon
Yup, Mike definitely borrowed Mitch McConnell’s spork to this knife fight. He should have borrowed a few of his wife’s “towel charms” instead … he could have actually inflicted some damage with those
At least he didn’t thank Trump University.
Or plug the new, tremendous, luxurious Capital "T"® hotel in D.C.
What a perfect buffoonish complement to Donald Trump.
“Id like to thank . . . WHERE THE FUCK AM I?”
