Kid Becomes Internet Hero Because Of How He Reacted To Mike Pence Elbowing Him In The Face
One heroic child is showing us what it means to hold our elected officials accountable.
The vice president was hosting military families for National Military Spouse Appreciation Day on Tuesday at the White House.
While thanking the kids for showing up to the event, he accidentally smacked one in the face:

While most kids, and adults for that matter, would have just let the incident go, this brave soul did not.
He was due an apology from Pence, and he wasn't going to stop until he got one.
What would you have done if Pence elbowed you in the face? A kid followed Pence around the room until he received an apology.

Nevertheless, he persisted.

And while we're happy for the kid, we can't help but wonder when OUR apology is coming:
