Washington (CNN)Vice President Mike Pence left a football game between the Indianapolis Colts and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday after some players knelt during the National Anthem, saying he did not want to "dignify" the event.

"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," Pence wrote on Twitter.
The vice president went on to issue a full statement opposing the protest.

My personal take: this was a stunt. He knew players were still kneeling. It hasn't ended. He knew this. But he went to this specifically with the intent of leaving in order to "take a stand" and make a political opportunity.

He is, as he always has been, a dishonest piece of trash.

EDIT: It was a stunt.

FLAG: Was Pence leaving Colts game a political stunt? Reporters were told to stay in van bc "there may be an early departure from the game."

[Zubz]

Blatant stunt.

Yup. The dude will say whatever appeals to his base. He's just less dumb about starting stuff than his handler.

 

[buttery fistful]

What a pathetic administration.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Good thing he wasted tax dollars to make such a stance.

But, it’s not like this administration gives a shit about the tax payers.

 

[Socivol]

Fuck him.

 

[Walter White Walker]

Yeah, that was obviously planned.

 

[Ovid]

Bullshit.

He knew that players would kneel because they've​ been doing it for the past two weeks.

This was planned.

 

[Loxley]

Trump is claiming on Twitter that he instructed Pence to leave the game if there were protests during the anthem.

 

[hitme]

He’s become such a bitch for Trump.

Because he knows he's going down with him once Mueller's investigation is complete.

 

[old manatee]

I'll bet his hemorrhoids we're acting up.

 

[Escape Goat]

[Zubz]

Trump is claiming on Twitter that he instructed Pence to leave the game if there were protests during the anthem.

Ha! That's even better than what I was thinking!

 

[RecRoulette]

Edit: lmao, Trump instructed him to? That's makes it even more of a joke of a stunt.

 

[Maxim726X]

So, he went with the sole intent of leaving and making a show of it?

Tasty red meat for the base, I guess. Have at it.

 

[Stinkles]

Our president and vice president are telling black people they shouldn't express their first amendment rights.

EVERYTHING IS FINE

 

[Travo]

That doofus knew that it would happen.
Edit: I just saw that Trump instructed him to. So it's ok for them to protest but not the players?

 

[GreyWind]

ohh booohooo

 

[Benson]

What happened to you, America? You used to be cool.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Trump is claiming on Twitter that he instructed Pence to leave the game if there were protests during the anthem.

This guy is narcissistic to the freaking bone. He wants so desperately to be at the center of everything.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

Remember when Pence didn't even want to be seen with Trump? Back when the scandals were coming out?

 

[SapientWolf]

It was a stunt and he is a clown.

"Keep the clown car running."

 

[TheGameshark]

lol bad and obvious design for a stunt

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Our president and vice president are telling black people they shouldn't express their first amendment rights.

EVERYTHING IS FINE

The administration doesn't care about black people, and they're proud of that.

 

[BobLoblaw]

Eugene, you magnificent bastard. Lol

 

[tbm24]

How long until he gives thumbs up to a supporter flying the stars and bars?

 

[Bronx-Man]

Triggered snowflake retreats back into his safe space



Sad!

 

[To Far Away Times]

This is he guy who has tried to pass bills to lobotomize gay people and send them to conversion camps.

To call him a piece of shit would be disrepectful to actual, honest to goodness shit. He is less than shit.

 

[AlexMogil]

What a clean hat he was wearing. And her jersey was just spotless.

Probably had that fresh out of the box smell, too.

 

[Linkura]

What a fucking loser.

 

[Nokterian]

It was a stunt and he is a clown.

Yup saw all those tweets in my timeline also saw a tweet that the van was waiting outside because a 'departure' was going to happen...as expected.

 

[Ravensmash]

How disrespectful of Pence.

 

[ComradeZero]

Wonder if all the anti-SJWs will whine about this. They are the saviors of free speech after all.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

sorry wrong thread

 

[Electric Eye]

This is what these clowns spend their time doing, creating stunts to promote their racist agenda and to distract from their terrible leadership. Meanwhile Puerto Rico reels and there is a storm slamming into the gulf...🤦

It's amazing how they brazenly work to quiet minority voices under the guise of unity. A joke stunt by a joke administration.
