Initial reports in the wake of Pence’s NFL protest indicated that the cost was a minimum of $250,000, based on the $43,000 an hour cost to operate Air Force Two. A new report from the Huffington Post notes that the additional cost for Secret Service lodging and protection and other elements ran to $75,000, bringing the full cost to well in excess of $325,000, a figure that does not include local security and emergency-response overtime costs. The Huffington Post report, which used Freedom of Information Act requests to obtain expenditures, also noted several costs that seemed to undercut the idea that this was a long-planned event. In addition to the fact that pool reporters traveling with the vice president were told that he might be leaving early, the Secret Service reports indicate that lodging and other protection wasn’t reserved until days before the game — not weeks, as Pence’s staff told CNN. Pence did not repeat his walkout for the rest of the NFL season, and to date neither he nor the president has returned to an NFL game. The protests during the anthem have all but disappeared, with most players choosing to focus their energies on less divisive efforts.
