Xeni Jardin, a journalist with Boing Boing, attempted to compare Mike Pence’s eating habits to those of a Sharia law practitioner on Wednesday, for which Twitter users hit her over the head with a metaphorical hammer.

VP Mike Pence’s ‘conservative Christian’ faith is the explanation given for why he won’t be in a room alone with a female who’s not his wife — Xeni Jardin (@xeni) March 29, 2017

As @espiers noted in a thread today, this means he’d be unable to work with a female colleague as a peer in a professional setting. — Xeni Jardin (@xeni) March 29, 2017

Sincere question. How is this different from extreme repressive interpretations of Islam (“Sharia Law!”) mocked by people like Mike Pence — Xeni Jardin (@xeni) March 29, 2017

No need to point out he’s a creep. I know. Those eyes are the eyes we see right before the assault happens. — Xeni Jardin (@xeni) March 29, 2017

It should be noted that the article Jardin was referencing said the Vice President Pence doesn’t do solo dinner dates with women who aren’t his wife.

Jardin instead offered that Pence won’t “be in a room alone with a woman,” a claim to which Twitter responded by basically calling her a dumb-dumb idiot head.

“Mike Pence has rapist eyes” is a new one. Twitter is full of surprises. https://t.co/omGm0NFQjV — T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 29, 2017

Regarding Pence and his wife, his critics are used to the Oral Office, not Oval office, so a stand-up husband shocks them. — Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) March 29, 2017

Everybody remembers where they were when Mike Pence stoned a woman to death for talking to him pic.twitter.com/JLdBpFRhlh — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) March 29, 2017

When Republicans behave like Bill Clinton, that’s bad because they’re hypocrites. When they don’t, that’s bad because they’re like Muslims. — Jim Treacher (@jtLOL) March 29, 2017

@xeni @espiers Except it didnt say that at all. I’d vote all day long against Pence, let alone Trump/Pence but no need to exaggerate — Roddy Boyd (@RodBoydILM) March 29, 2017

@xeni My true religion, your quaint folk tales.

My religious practice, your superstition.

My deeply held beliefs, your prejudices. — Philip Borenstein (@pborenstein) March 29, 2017

@tinahseattle nonsense. You have allies — Hefner Canal Goats (@hefner_goats) March 29, 2017

@xeni @onlxn I grew up evangelical Christian and believe there is a fine line between radical evangelical Christians and radical Islamists. — Soulshine_TN (@TnSoulshine) March 29, 2017

@xeni dif is simple – one makes a personal choice and doesn’t force it on anyone. The other is a religious people are forced to follow — Tony so right! (@Random_Tony) March 29, 2017

@xeni It’s 100 percent different. Next question. — Garrett Baldwin (@GarrettBaldwin) March 29, 2017

@xeni You mean beside the fact that this is how Pence conducts his life but DOESN’T demand that others conduct their lives in the same way? — Christopher Johnson (@TheRealCSJ) March 29, 2017
