I left today's Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem.— Vice President Pence (@VP) October 8, 2017
Pence thought this was so important that it warranted an official statement.While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I don't think it's too much to ask NFL players to respect the Flag and our National Anthem— Vice President Pence (@VP) October 8, 2017
Drama queen.I stand with @POTUS Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem. http://pic.twitter.com/B0zP5M41MQ— Vice President Pence (@VP) October 8, 2017
I imagine that Pence thought this was somehow going to be his shining moment, when he demonstrated his independence and took a stand for America.
But Trump can't allow that, now can he?
So much for being your own man there Mikey, now the whole world knows that you are just Trump's tiny yapping little lapdog.I asked @VP Pence to leave stadium if any players kneeled, disrespecting our country. I am proud of him and @SecondLady Karen.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2017
