Mike Pence used $13 thousand in campaign money to pay down a mortgage and for golf fees.

The then 31-year-old lawyer didn’t break any laws at the time — but Pence’s questionable ethics outraged voters and ultimately prompted the Federal Election Commission to crack down on politicians who abuse their campaign funds, the Washington Post reported.
“If you’re giving money to Mike Pence, you’re paying his mortgage!” Billy Linville, campaign manager for Pence’s rival, incumbent Democrat Philip R. Sharp, screamed at a 1990 press conference after news of the spending spree broke.
