NEW YORK -- Mike Pence is walking around New York City without pants on.

Wait, that's not Mike Pence.

A man who looks similar to Indiana's governor and America's Vice-President-elect is raising money for causes Pence has opposed, according to the New York Daily News.

He's dressing up as Pence from the waist up, then wearing short shorts from the waist down. 

The man, Glen Pannell, has raised money for Planned Parenthood, the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Trevor Project, an organization that hosts a 24-hour suicide hotline for gay youth.

Pannell told the Daily News he isn’t interested in being immature or disrespectful. He wants to use his resemblance to call attention to Pence’s record.

“His policy over the last 16 years makes me very afraid for the next four years," he said. "I want to make it about the issues.”

According to his Twitter feed, Mike Hot-Pence has raised more than $2,300 for the organizations.
