Pence walks out of stadium

Pence walks out of stadium

Last Saturday, Mike Pence was in Las Vegas in honor of all the victims shot and killed in the biggest massacre in American history. The very next day, Pence was in Indiana at the Colt’s game against San Francisco; he walked out after many people and players were kneeling during the national anthem.  He said he will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our flag, or our national anthem.

According to a tweet Trump put out, he said that he requested for Pence to leave the stadium if any players disrespected our country. Many people claim that Trump “ knew what he was doing,” when he planned this out. This caused a protest called the “Pence Protest”, which was people angered by his plan to leave  the game. The next day this story was the story on the news.

This is only one example of where leaders have planned a public backlash towards citizens who have exercised  their rights.
