In the wake of left-wing hysteria over Vice President Mike Pence avoiding going out to eat alone with a woman who is not his wife, on Friday, NBC’s Today seized on the story and devoted a nearly two-minute long discussion to the topic, debating whether or not such marital fidelity was a “wise policy.”  

Leading off the show’s 8 a.m. ET hour “Trending” segment, co-host Savannah Guthrie announced: “...the Washington Post did a profile piece on Karen Pence, the Vice President’s wife, and it really started a great discussion in our newsroom. In the article, we learned that Mike Pence has a policy....he says he doesn't dine alone with a woman unless his wife is there.” She noted that “it got a lot of us talking” and wondered: “...what do you think of that policy? Do you think that's a wise policy?”
