“It’s a way of showing that Focus on the Family and Mike Pence stand for very restrictive, ‘traditional’ gender roles, opposition to choice for women and anti-LGBTQ positions"

This would be an appropriate greeting.

But Pence is the sanctimonious hypocrite we are familiar with. President Trump is untrustworthy and has multiple investigations underway. Were Pence to replace Trump, he would not sweep in on a wave of popularity. He is disliked even in his own state.
