I am sure you heard the vice-president Mike Pence’s stunt at the Indianapolis Colts-San Francisco 49ers game on Sunday. When more than 20 players decided to take a knee during the playing of the national anthem, the vice president was so outraged that he walked out of Lucas Oil Stadium. Pence likes to put himself out as if he has this high moral integrity.
