Pence&rsquo;s wife, Karen, appeared to entirely snub Trump, opting to not shake his hand or even stand when he and Melania approached.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You&rsquo;d have to ask my wife about her posture, but we&rsquo;ve been married 44 years, and she loves her husband, and her husband respects her deeply,&rdquo; Pence said.<\/p>\n<p>During the interview, which will air on a podcast this coming week, Pence also discussed Trump&rsquo;s Cabinet nominees. Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">received mixed reactions<\/a> to the choices, which include a combination of fairly mainstream nominations as well as controversial ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pence, like some other social conservatives, expressed opposition to Trump&rsquo;s pick of Robert F.
