The Huffington Post on Saturday reported based on newly released documents that Pence’s hotel stay, travel, Secret Service protection, and extra security measures added up to at least $325,000 in taxpayer dollars, not including the cost of local law enforcement or emergency services.

Pence in October 2017 left an Indianapolis Colts game against the San Francisco 49ers in protest of NFL players kneeling during the anthem. Around a dozen players knelt during the national anthem as part of the ongoing protests by NFL players against police brutality and racial inequality.
