"I never think it's a mistake...to stand up for what you believe in. What the American people admire most about this president is he says what he means and he means what he says in a very real sense," Pence said. "He said there's a crisis at our southern border. He said he was determined to get the funding to build a wall and secure our border. And he was willing to take a stand to accomplish that"
But Pence has previously acted against people standing up for their beliefs, even if that "standing up" meant kneeling.
As Vox's Aaron Rupar tweeted: "Pence walked out of a NFL game because players protested racism."
