#FakeNews CNN Trashes Vice President – Estimates Price Tag of Pence Defending US Flag and Walking Out of Colts Game

You knew this was coming.

Barack Obama increased the US national debt by nearly $10 trillion dollars and the liberal media SAID NOTHING!

But now that President Trump is in office the liberal media had suddenly developed a new found interest in government spending.

On Sunday Vice President Mike Pence attended the Indianapolis Colts game against the San Francisco 49ers.
The VP had planned to attend the game for weeks.

But after the NFL millionaires disrespected the US flag and military by kneeling during the national anthem, Vice President Pence and his wife walked out of the game.

The liberal media is attacking the vice president for defending the flag and military.
Several liberal hacks lashed out at the vice president after he left the game.

Now this…
CNN actually tabulated the cost of Mike Pence’s trip to the game.
As if they give a damn about government spending!

This is CNN:

How much did Vice President Mike Pence’s trip to Indianapolis to watch — and then abruptly leave — a football game Sunday between the Indianapolis Colts and San Francisco 49ers cost?

Here is an estimate of just the air costs (which does not include costs of advance personnel, Secret Service or support on the ground):

According to the Air Force, flying a C-32, the model of plane used for Air Force 2, for one hour costs about $30,000. Pence’s flight from Las Vegas to Indianapolis Saturday took about three hours and 20 minutes, so it cost about $100,000

Pence then flew from Indianapolis to Los Angeles on Sunday, which took about four hours and 45 minutes, costing about $142,500.
The grand total: about $242,500.

What a joke the media has become.
