Mike Pence has been known to give a high respect to the national anthem of the US.
Last year in October, Pence staged a ‘planned’ walk out of a National Football League (NFL) after a dozen San Francisco players knelt down during the playing of the national anthem, owing to the disrespect of the national anthem. (ANI)
