Mike Pence seems to be afflicted with the same horrific and highly contagious disease that is plaguing the Republican Party for the last 3 years - deafness, illiteracy and dementia. Not only do the GOP pretend to not be able to read tweets, but they pretend to have never heard interviews or statements made or simply forget meetings they were in or calls they participated in.
Here we see Robot Mike Pence pretending with his best "concerned VP" expression to actually be listening to NBC's Vaughn Hillyard's question while providing a memorized statement that doesn't quite answer the question that was JUST ASKED 30 seconds before.

HILLYARD: Were you aware, Mr. Vice President, an interest in the Bidens, the interest in investigating the Bidens, at least part of the reason for aid to Ukraine being withheld?
PENCE: I never discussed the issue of the issue of the Bidens with President Zelensky.
HILLYARD: Were you ever aware?
PENCE: What I can tell you is that all of our discussions internally, the President and our team, and our context, in my office with Ukraine, were entirely focused on the broader issues of the lack of European support and corruption.
