Steven Van Zandt’s take on the insult to Pence. I don’t agree with his politics but he’s right here:
“He was their guest. You protect your guests. Don’t embarrass them.”
I have typed so much in the forum that my original point may have been lost.
I agree with Van Zandt, but I am not surprised by what happened. Not excusing it, but that it is to be expected — and wouldn’t have gone precisely because of that. Mike Pence deserves better.
