President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence were sick and tired of overpaid NFL players disrespecting the American flag — and Sunday, they decided to do something about it.
In a pre-planned political statement, Pence attended the 1:00pm game between the Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers to cheer for his hometown Indiana team.
During the national anthem, the liberal NFL players took a predicable knee. So after the anthem, Pence walked out in disgust.
We were proud to stand – with all our @Colts – for our soldiers, our flag, and our National Anthem 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/mkZiKMkPDD

The vice president also released a statement on the game, and it made liberals look absolutely terrible.
I stand with @POTUS Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem. pic.twitter.com/B0zP5M41MQ

Trump also released his own statement, saying that the patriotic move by Pence were all pre-planned by the two of them — and the NFL players fell right into the political trap.
The trip by @VP Pence was long planned. He is receiving great praise for leaving game after the players showed such disrespect for country!

In other words, Trump and Pence were able to turn the nasty NFL protests into a positive event for their administration.
When the anthem protesters learn all they accomplished was help the Trump administration’s plans to make America great again, they’ll undoubtedly be very upset.
Maybe that will teach them to stand up and honor America.
