WATCH: Kid demands apology after Mike Pence accidentally hits him in the face

___ Pence was speaking to military families at the White House as part of National Military Spouse Appreciation Day when he accidentally elbowed the small boy in the face while making a hand gesture.

The boy, who immediately cracked a grin, began asking Pence for an apology as the vice president turned to shake hands with other guests who were surrounding him at the podium.

"Excuse me, excuse me," the boy can be heard saying on camera. "You owe me an apology."

He finally catches up with Pence, who apologized.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bop you," Pence said.

what even a kid knows. If you hurt someone (even accidentally), you immediately apologize and do so sincerely....without waiting to be prompted by the person you hurt. Moron.....
