Bono Praises Mike Pence for His Commitment to AIDS Relief

Following his speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, Vice-President Mike Pence met with U2 front man and noted Donald Trump hater Bono for a short, friendly discussion regarding the president’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. The initiative — which helps save the lives of those suffering from the disease on a global level — had been advocated by Pence when he was still the governor of Indiana. “Twice on the House floor you defended that,” Bono told Pence after some customary small-talk. “That’s how we know you. And we really appreciate it.” Pence responded: “It was an extraordinary historic accomplishment and you played a leading role in carrying it forward.” No spectacle here.
