NBC Busted Mike Pence, Says Taxpayers Paid For Staged Political Stunt At Football Game

"I left today's Colts game because President Trump and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem," the vice president said, first in a series of tweets and then in a full statement posted to Twitter.Unfortunately, the truth has a pesky way of coming out. Peter Alexander is an NBC reporter:
"At a time when so many Americans are inspiring our nation with their courage, resolve, and resilience, now, more than ever, we should rally around our Flag and everything that unites us. 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. I stand with President Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem," he said.
Alexander said, “The president and the vice president had come up with a way that they believe is the best way to communicate this stand, But it’s obviously a divisive issue, with many people insisting these players deserve their right to free expression.”
“Among the questions right now to be answered is, was this a political stunt as many people suggest?”
“And the bottom line is, is the vice president as a government official allowed to use taxpayer money to fly into a place like Indiana for what many people view as a political stunt?”
That’s only the penultimate bottom line. The real bottom line is that grifters Trump and Pence have been sending out emails to their base to raise money. They were caught yesterday exploiting the Las Vegas shooting and Rachel Maddow got onto their scam last week when she got a copy of the email sent to the base exploiting this very same NFL controversy while Puerto Ricans were dying.
That’s the bottom line. The dotted line is the only line in Trump World. Incidentally, Mike Pence left the football game in Indianapolis to fly to Los Angeles for a fundraiser. Questions in anybody’s mind about the pursuit of profit being first, last and always with Team Trump Pence? This isn’t about a “cultural war” this is about cash.
Whoaaaaa, whoa, whoa...
When the VP travels anywhere, you’re telling me taxpayers pay for it? Who the hell could have possibly known?
This is truly gripping and groundbreaking stuff from Dailykooks. I sure as hell hope there is more where that came from!!
Ahhh, but, it has apparently escaped your razor sharp intellect that there was no need for him to fly 1100 miles, tying up traffic with his motorcade, to attend a game that he knew he wasn't going to stay for past the Anthem-Dump actually admitted all this, you witless putz.
Yet not a peep from you last year when Obama flew to Wolfson college to give a 50 minute speech on how great Obamacare is (laugh).... then head off to praise Hillary on the campaign trail and speak at her rally, then head to a fundraiser after that.

The president will speak about healthcare at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, 300 NE Second Ave. around 2 p.m., college spokesman Juan Mendieta said.
Miami Beach police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez advised drivers to expect significant traffic delays between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. along the Julia Tuttle Causeway and areas north of 41st Street. Rodriguez suggests gridlock-weary commuters use the Venetian Causeway and MacArthur Causeway instead.
Obama is expected to depart Miami International Airport and fly back to Washington about 6:45 p.m.
Why didnt you say this last year about Obama?: "there was no need for him to fly 1100 miles, tying up traffic with his motorcade, to attend a speech he knew wasnt even going to stay for past his speech, then campaign for Hillary and go to a fundraiser, he doesnt even need to admit to this, he did it for no reason!"
You're comparing a President campaigning and fund raising for a presidential run, and speaking about an issue that makes up 1/6 of our budget(and which brain dead Republicans have been trying to jettison for close to 8 years, and get fucked in the ass every single time they do so, thanks to speeches like this one), to a Vice President flunky going to a fucking football game to say NOTHING, just going to make a meaningless point about a symbol?:hahahahah^^kth)(&^Loser!@#0ointer:azzkick(&^:madassholkth)(&^:fckmad::Countdown
NICE COMPARISON, JAGOFF!!!!
