Morning Joe Slams Mike Pence’s NFL ‘Stunt’: ‘Utterly Appalling, Wasteful, Profligate, Disgusting Behavior’

by Aidan McLaughlin | 8:11 am, October 9th, 2017

Morning Joe piled on Mike Pence Monday after the vice president staged a pre-planned walkout of a Colts-49ers football game over the weekend when a number of players knelt during the national anthem.

Pence left the game in protest of the player’s protest, and President Donald Trump later tweeted that he told his vice president to leave the game, and that he was “proud” of him.

MSNBC’s Steve Schmidt kicked things off: “It’s truly amazing. So he took Air Force 2, full package of Secret Service from Las Vegas to Indianapolis for a stunt, inconvenienced tens of thousands of Colts fans.”

“To, again, use the flag and the anthem as a prop,” Schmidt said. “And the greatest desecration of that flag is the assault on its foundational values which occurs every day with this administration with their attacks on the spirit of the First Amendment, freedom of the press, freedom of expression.”

same morons (or "morans!&quot who supported dRump's S-O-B speech will also support this stunt.

Truly a masterful job of diverting eyes away from the TRUE subject at hand.
