Actually, he might have been In Friday's ceremony, Pence was seen sitting near none other than Kim Yo Jong, the younger sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. But the vice president, per reports from CBS News and the Associated Press, neither interacted with Jong nor stood to recognize the joint North and South Korea team that entered for the ceremony. Other reports corroborated the suggestion that Pence and his wife, Karen, were the only people in the VIP press box not to stand in recognition of the Korean Olympic delegation, which marched united for the first time since 2007. And Voice of America later reported that Pence willingly opted to sit in the box, so as to be seen by North Korean officials, rather than simply sit with a delegation of only Team USA representatives. According to BBC, the vice president, who at one point said he might consider meeting with North Korean officials during his time in South Korea, also skipped an Olympic dinner, where he was "due to share a table with North Korea's ceremonial head of state Kim Yong-nam." "Mr. Pence and Kim Yong-nam were being hosted by (South Korea) President Moon (Jae-in) before the opening ceremony in Pyeongchang.

The issue is that it shows any understanding of the disingenuous nature of his responses to the football protests. Let me remind you, however, that he already has been proven to be a fraud - when he went to the Colts game and left early because some players protested, he used an identical picture from years ago. And he knew that players would protest, which is why he went in the first place - so he could protest their protest. --- ~Peaf~ <cite>Peace___Frog posted [p:895817595] in Politics C...

Dancedreamer 02/10/18 10:27:22 AM #175:	Pence and the others who complain about kneeling in the NFL only do so to try to make themselves out to be the victim. Because they have a need to feel like the victim in everything. It's the persecution complex. Of course some of them are just racist, and don't like the idea that black people are protesting (they'll complain about violent protests, and then peaceful protests too.
