Trump: Mike Pence’s NFL Stunt Was “Long-Planned”

USA Today reports:

Amid criticism over Vice President Mike Pence’s truncated visit to an NFL game Sunday, President Donald Trump said the trip was “long planned” in a tweet Monday. Pence’s trip on Air Force 2 — which doesn’t take into account logistics on the ground like Secret Service — cost about $242,500, according to an estimate from CNN published on Monday. Pence flew from Las Vegas to Indianapolis before he headed to a fundraiser in Southern California.

The trip by @VP Pence was long planned. He is receiving great praise for leaving game after the players showed such disrespect for country!
