All that dense Pence has going for him is connections and the fact that he represents the theocratic faction of the Regime. He is the High Priest of the Evangelical cult. Barr Barr the Hutt is for that, as well.

Otherwise, we see a walking, vapid, human Q-Tip whom you would'nt put in charge of anything important otherwise, like taking tickets at the theater, etc.

His fixated, devotional stare at General Cockwomble might represent his repressed issues concerning their bromance.

That's one hell of a band of people who couldn't make it any other place in society, their disorders are too severe for a real job.

The full clip of Pence's appearance shows that after he made the comment about carrying empty boxes, he closed the van doors and didn't actually carry any of the empty boxes. Kimmel has acknowledged that Pence was just joking. The event was a publicity stunt, but not with empty boxes. https://thehill.com/homenews/news/496851-kimmel-apologizes-for-suggesting-pence-carried-empty-boxes-to-hospital

Still he’s running around with no mask when we know he’s been exposed to the virus.

It’s been called a joke but he says it. Look at all the group contact with no mask - and now we know he’s probably been exposed.
