Mike Pence compares himself to Will Ferrell -- and MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle has the perfect response

During a campaign rally for Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp earlier today, Mike Pence tried to make light of the outpouring of support for his Democratic competitor Stacey Abrams, who has had the help of celebrities including Oprah Winfrey and Will Ferrell. MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle had the perfect response.

"Stacey Abrams is being bankrolled by Hollywood liberals, sending their support into the state," said Pence, who is from Indiana. "Like I heard Oprah's in town today."

As the crowd booed the beloved African American entrepreneur and television star Pence added, "I heard Will Ferrell was going door to door the other day. Well, I'd like to remind Stacey and Oprah and Will Ferrell, I'm kind of a big deal too."

"Except he's not that funny," Ruhle cracked drily.
