'The View' lambasts Mike Pence for sitting at Olympics: Didn't he say 'it's inappropriate to make political statements at sporting events?'

The co-hosts of "The View" couldn't help but note the hypocrisy from Vice President Mike Pence during the Olympic Games in South Korea.

While attending, Pence refused to stand when South Korea entered the arena because they were joined with the North Korean athletes.

"I thought that Mike Pence said that it was inappropriate to make political statements at sporting events," co-host Sunny Hostin said, harkening back to Pence's attacks on the NFL players taking a knee. "Wasn't he the guy who walked out of the football game because people were kneeling and not standing?"

Joy Behar said that Pence would claim that he wasn't doing it on American soil, but Hostin countered that he was there to represent the United States

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg blasted Pence and said that if he's going to attend the ceremony then he needs to stand up and be respectful.

Meghan McCain was on Pence's side and said that the human rights abuses in North Korea supersede the respectfulness generally bestowed upon all countries at the Olympics.

"But we have supported regimes like this," said Goldberg.

"Like Russia," Behar said over Goldberg.

"For many, many years that are still doing it," Goldberg continued. "The olympics are supposed to be the one place where politics is not supposed to play a part. that's my understanding."

McCain recalled past Olympic events that took a political turn, but the one she chose to justify Pence's political statement was Adolf Hitler's appearance at the Olympics.
