| Mike Pence stands for freedom and liberty. Kneeling is unacceptable. |
And rightly so, as he understands the dedication to what has made our country the ''shining city on the hill'' for all the world to see.
To do anything else in the face of hypocrisy on the part of some of the players, Mike Pence would be failing in his job as a representative of the people and the American history of freedom for all and our heritage of liberty if stayed to watch the game.
It is about who we are and what is important in our lives. Standing for the truth is not difficult, but taking a knee for delusional concepts is outrageous and unethical.
Pence Leaves Colts Game After 49ers Kneel During National Anthem
Ryan Pickrell / @rwp2011 /
Vice President Mike Pence left an NFL game Sunday after around 20 players took a knee during the national anthem.
Pence departed the Indianapolis Colts game when the San Francisco 49ers’ players knelt during the playing of the “Star-Spangled Banner.” The vice president, following in the footsteps of President Donald Trump, criticized the players for their disrespect on Twitter.
Americans need an alternative to the mainstream media. But this can't be done alone. Find out more.
He concluded his posts with a simple statement: “I stand with President Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our flag and our national anthem.”
Since the president suggested in a recent speech that players who fail to stand for the national anthem should be fired, players on teams across the NFL have taken a knee in protest. The issue has become extremely divisive in recent weeks.
While some other teams have decided to stand, others—the 49ers, in particular—have continuously knelt at the start of each game. For the vice president, that was utterly unacceptable.
