Former vice president and 2024 presidential candidate Mike Pence was hot for teacher during Wednesday evening's second GOP debate, boasting that he's "been sleeping with a teacher for 38 years."

"My wife, uh, isn't a member of the teachers' union, but I've got to admit, I've been sleeping with a teacher for 38 years," Pence said after fielding a question on education.

Pence's wife, Karen, taught elementary school for more than two decades before Pence was elected governor of Indiana in 2012.
