It happened at the Kennedy Space Center.

When Mike Pence was named Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2016 election, he became a national political figure. Soon, word spread of a 2002 interview where he admitted he will not eat alone with a woman unless it’s his wife … who he refers to as “Mother.” This admission begged an important follow-up question: Does Mike Pence have such little self-control that he can’t be alone with a woman?
Thursday, America learned that yes, Mike Pence does have trouble keeping his hands to himself. While touring NASA’s Kennedy Space Center with Senator Marco Rubio, he placed his hand firmly on a piece of “Critical Space Flight Hardware” clearly labeled “DO NOT TOUCH.” When the photo hit Twitter, the internet had a field day mocking the vice president’s blatant disregard for federal signage.
