"Pence, the former governor of Indiana, was invited to speak after Notre Dame students and faculty protested the prospect of President Donald Trump being invited to become the seventh U.S. president to give the commencement address."

The administration is tone-deaf. If Trump was dropped because of protest, why bring in the Vice-President, who would be supporting the same policies? Somehow, they seem to want the prestige of a high political official over the official's acceptance to the graduates. Pence might have been acceptable had he not been seen as a stand-in from Trump.
