Look, Mike Pence is a Christian (duh) and may not know everything there is to know about the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. But this is just too much.

Pence received a ton of criticism on Monday after posting a tweet about Hanukkah that showed the wrong number of nights of the Jewish holiday.

“Happy Hanukkah! May the light that shines from every Menorah make the world a brighter and better place. @KarenPence and I wish all who are celebrating the Festival of Lights a wonderful Hanukkah!” Pence wrote in a tweet on Sunday afternoon.

Now, what do you notice there? As you can see, the tweet shows a picture of a menorah that only had seven candles, but the Jewish holiday lasts for eight nights. Like, everyone knows that. Even non-Jewish folks.

Shortly after Pence’s tweet, Laura E. Adkins, an opinion editor at the Forward, explained the difference between a menorah and a hanukkiah.

“Menorah: Typically 7 branches, used in the Temple and in the state emblem of Israel (see below),” Adkins wrote. “Hanukkiah: A 9-branched menorah used during Hanukkah. One central branch to hold the shamash (the candle with which you light the others) and 8 for the 8 days of Hanukkah.”

A number of other Twitter users also responded to Pence’s tweet, many including criticism of the former vice president.

Hey @Mike_Pence, nice that you are trying to cozy up to us Jews. Thing is, next time, count the candles first. This is what is called a failed attempt at pandering. Truly pathetic.

someone on the pence team just searched for free stock photos tagged "menorah" without double checking with any jewish people about the difference between a menorah and a chanukiah, huh https://t.co/ElEmcXYDFv pic.twitter.com/3Yiruq5gYH

truly inspired by how mike pence's comms team can fuck up this badly in the year 2022 (that is not a menorah) https://t.co/KB8M9qHjKG

The menorah is missing a candle,which means Mike Pence spent more time with a fly on his head than researching the proper photo to use for Hanukkah https://t.co/YNOMjByh7G

Hey, @Mike_Pence –this is a menorah! Note 9, count them, NINE candles. https://t.co/TZGwnHZpG8

at the memorial for the Tree of Life massacre (which he, and his party inspired) Pence tried to pass off a messianic 'rabbi' as representative of the whole Jewish community, so it makes sense that he didn't get the number of candles in a menorah right. https://t.co/FjzWPnwZYF

If mike pence didn't have a pretty well documented history of anti-semitism, getting the number of candles on the hanukkah menorah would be more forgivable https://t.co/6qttyDEfux

How many days of Hanukkah are there?

Now take a look at the menorah. See anything wrong?

All you had to do was ask ONE Jew.

Jesus, Mike and Karen, do you not have anyone to provide you guidance on what a Hanukkah menorah looks like?

Where did you get that one from?

Never mind, it's not important, but why don't you grow a pair and tell the nation what happened when Trump tried to have you killed? pic.twitter.com/h8Shfu43oA

When you don't even care enough about the Festival of Lights to find a Menorah with the right number of candles.

We can be assured that @Mike_Pence will never ever be president. Too spineless and sloppy. Terrible combo. https://t.co/GXYOdu7jDk

And my personal favorite:

If you’re wondering why Mike Pence left off 2 candles, that’s because those are called the labia menorah. pic.twitter.com/bApPtjhamR
