‘The View’ Hosts Are Livid at Mike Pence for Refusing to Stand for Korea: ‘You Need to Stand’ (VIDEO)

On Monday, some of the co-hosts on “The View” voiced their displeasure at how Vice President Mike Pence did not stand when athletes from North and South Korea marched during the opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics. Pence only stood when the U.S. team entered the arena.

Co-host Sunny Hostin pointed to when Pence walked out of an Indianapolis Colts game because players protested the national anthem.

“I thought that Mike Pence said that it was inappropriate to make political statements at sporting events,” she said. “Wasn’t he that guy who walked out of the football game because people were kneeling and not standing?” – READ MORE

In a tweet posted Saturday, the Connecticut Democrat poked fun at Vice President Mike Pence for refusing to stand during the entrance of the combined Korea team at the 2018 Winter Olympics, which included communist North Korea.

Murphy compared the vice president’s action to NFL players who have chosen to kneel the playing of the U.S. national anthem.

“Why does Pence hate the opening ceremonies? Oh wait…he’s a using ceremony at a sporting event to protest something else. Where have I seen that before?” the junior senator from Connecticut tweeted Saturday morning. – READ MORE

Vice President Mike Pence and second lady Karen Pence led the American delegation at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

The vice president raved about the honor on Twitter as the opening ceremony kicked things off Friday:

But these games in particular are not just about sportsmanship and putting on a show on the world stage — because of continued tensions between North Korea and most of the world (but the United States, specifically), there has been an underlying political thread in every event.

As the joint team of North and South Korean athletes was introduced, the Pences remained seated. CBS Sports reported:

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.READ MORE
