BOTUS Marlon Bundo to star in a children's book
Vice President Mike Pence's pet rabbit is making his literary debut. The expertly named bunny Marlon Bundo is the star of a new children's book, written by Pence's daughter Charlotte Pence and illustrated by second lady Karen Pence.
In the book, titled Marlon Bundo's A Day in the Life of the Vice President, the first bunny follows "Grampa [Pence] around all day, as a BOTUS should, while he goes about his duties as vice president," Marlon Bundo explained in an Instagram post. (Yes, the rabbit has an Instagram account.)
A portion of the book's proceeds will be donated to charities of Charlotte and Karen's choosing: The Washington Examiner reported that Charlotte has selected "a nonprofit dedicated to abolishing human trafficking," while Karen chose "an art therapy program."
