Update: Pence spox says he never left Washington

The @VP never left Washington, DC. There was no “emergency callback.” Something came up that required the VP to stay in DC. We’ll reschedule NH shortly.

Just weird. No way to tell if this is coverning incompetency, or something nefarious... or both.

1. Maybe Pence isn't allowed in New Hampshire

Until Ivanka wins the GOP nomination in 2024

2. With that bunch, it's both incompetence and

a nepharious plot.

5. Occam's razor would be both - a nefarious plot carried out by the unqualified. (nt)

3. Isn't there a reporter who travels with him much like press traveling with 45?

That reporter should speak up.

6. I don't think that this administration allows independent press on board - hence this spox. (nt)

4. No one knew where he was. That's concerning. I don't

think they care.

7. Schroedinger's VP

He's both on his way to New Hampshire AND staying in DC at the same time.

Someone has a record of Air Force 2 being in the air today. We'll never get the full story on this highly suspicious episode, but whether Pence was in DC the whole time should be easily ascertainable. The fact that Pence's office is going to such lengths to try to pass this off as a nothingburger (or nothingberder) should give all good citizens pause.

8. His Betsy Ross Nike's were recalled.

9. goo gawd - he missed the fucking plane and no one noticed til

it was halfway there?

Betchya Mother wouldn't let him go to NH by himself because of all the wild women up there.
You can find the VP in the cold shower. That was a close one.

ETA:

What a fucking loser.

10. Well this all broke because his plane was ordered back

So where was the plane going without him???

12. Maybe they were making a run for the Canadian border

It's too hot in DC anyway. Who wants to hang out in Washington over the 4th of July break?
Not these guys!

11. A runaway gone bad!1
