The Vice president of the United States expressing displeasure with a misdirected and mistimed protest against the flag and the anthem makes a ton of sense. He didn't go to an event whose purpose was to protest.

The cast of Hamilton again offered a mistimed and misguided criticism of a public figure when he was simply consuming the product.

It's amazing to me that you don't see this.


Oh this is lovely

So under that rubric, Pence is to be celebrated for political activism during a football game, but if someone had addressed him during a football game, it would have been inappropriate because he was simply consuming the product?

Am I doing it right?

No idiot...quite the opposite. He's reacting to political activism against two "sacred" institutions of our nation. It's totally expected and reasonable for him to reject that as Vice President.

It's the same issue. Others are playing politics during the game. Those who choose to make political statements during a performance or game are the ones who should be criticized.

Again, I'm amazed your blind to this.
