You may have seen that VP Pence walked out of the Colts game in Indy today when some of the players knelt during the anthem. He says he refused to watch the flag being disrespected.
I want to make sure you know the whole story. Pence started the day in Vegas. He flew to Indy on Air Force 2, supposedly to attend the game because Peyton Manning's jersey was being retired. But the press was told to stay in the van at the stadium because "there may be an early departure". Sure enough, Pence got up and left after eight minutes. Which was convenient because he had to catch a flight to southern California for a 630pm fundraiser tonight.
So rather than just flying from Vegas to SoCal, Trump had him fly across the country, specifically to be "offended" because he knew some players would kneel, all so he could help drive deeper divisions in the country. AF2 costs $45,000/hr to operate, not to mention the costs of the motorcades and other support. Plus he stole all the attention from Peyton Manning's big day. This may be one of Trump's most craven stunts yet, and that's saying something.
Pence even posted a selfie with his wife from the game. Except it was faked. They reposted a photo from three years ago and implied it was taken in those eight minutes while he was waiting to be insulted.
