Vice President Mike Pence walked out of the Colts-49ers game Sunday after 23 49ers knelt during the Anthem. Democrats on social media are trashing the Vice President for leaving, not the 49ers for kneeling. At the same time, the man who started it all, Colin Kaepernick, told CBS if he is given a chance to play again, he would stand during the Anthem.
[Update: CBS reporter La Canfora has taken the story back. Less than a day after he reported the story, he is now saying his report was based on statements Kaepernick made in March. Kaepernick has confirmed his desire to play in the NFL however — whatever that means.]

[Update continued: CBS reporter La Canfora isn’t being criticized for reporting fake news. The media is claiming he merely “clarified” the story Sunday. We waited nearly a day to report it for fear of trusting CBS – should have waited two days. Kaepernick responded in a tweet and apparently knows a quote by Winston Churchill, “A lie gets halfway around the world before truth has a chance to get its pants on”.]
ORIGNAL STORY:
Kaepernick started the movement to disrespect towards our flag, police, our Anthem and our values, but now he wants to return. Maybe he needs to get lost. This is the man who gave interviews wearing a Castro shirt, bragged about Castro, and wore cops as pigs socks.
The people who stereotype all police over very few bad apples need to look at the 99% of police, who put their lives at risk as soon as they don their uniforms, to save people they don’t even know.
Take Las Vegas, while everyone was running from the bullets, the police were running towards the danger. Why don’t people talk about this?
VICE PRESIDENT PENCE WALKS OUT
Vice President Pence went to the Indianapolis Colts-San Francisco 49ers game Sunday only to leave early after 23 49ers knelt during the National Anthem, saying he did not want to “dignify” the event.
“I left today’s Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem,” Pence wrote on Twitter.
The vice president went on to issue a full statement opposing the protest.

The game was to honor Peyton Manning. What a disgrace the players are. The Vice President and his wife 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

There is no word on whether the Colts knelt or locked arms, which is the same thing whether they kneel or lock arms. They are politicizing football and kowtowing to the hard-left at the expense of the nation.
We can’t find any word on what the Colts did during the Anthem, but they promised just last week that kneeling and locking arms was just the beginning.
