VP Pence Leaves NFL Game When Players Take A Knee During National Anthem [VIDEO]

Today, Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen were going to be attending the Indianapolis Colts home game against the San Francisco 49ers.

They didn’t even make it to kickoff.

The Pences are Colts fans, which makes sense, as the vice president is the former governor of Indiana. And it seems they were looking forward to the game.

Looking forward to cheering for our @Colts & honoring the great career of #18 Peyton Manning at @LucasOilStadium today. Go Colts! pic.twitter.com/C3aCYUNpqG

And then, during the National Anthem, some of the 49ers players took a knee.

And the Vice President and Second Lady left the game.
