Pence abruptly cancels New Hampshire trip for unspecified reason

Article

Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday abruptly canceled a planned appearance at a New Hampshire opioid event to remain in Washington, D.C.

Pence's office said in a statement that the change of plans is "no cause for alarm."

The vice president never left the nation's capital for the Granite State, officials said, contrary to reports that Air Force Two was called back in midair so that he could attend to an unspecified emergency.

"Something came up that required the @VP to remain in Washington, DC. It's no cause for alarm. He looks forward to rescheduling the trip to New Hampshire very soon," Pence spokeswoman Alyssa Farah tweeted.

White House spokesman Hogan Gidley delivered a nearly identical statement, telling The Hill that "something that came up that required the VP to remain in D.C. There is no cause for concern."

Farah in a follow-up tweet said Pence never left Washington, adding that there was no "emergency callback."

A senior administration official said that Pence's decision to stay in Washington "has nothing to do with the health of the vice president or the president."

It is unusual for a president or vice president to suddenly shift their travel plans and the announcement set off speculation in Washington about the reasons for the change.

Pence was scheduled to speak with former patients of the Granite Recovery Center in Salem, N.H., and deliver formal remarks on the opioid crisis before returning to the nation's capital in the late afternoon.

There is absolutely no cause for alarm, the wings are not on fire.

Incredibly specific denials often tend to achieve the opposite effect.

A senior administration official said that Pence's decision to stay in Washington "has nothing to do with the health of the vice president or the president."

You stupid motherfucker, that wasn't even on my list of questions before you said that.

This is news?

It may be nothing but
"no cause for alarm."
"there was no "emergency callback."
"There is no cause for concern."
"has nothing to do with the health of the vice president or the president."

The amount of "THERE IS NOTHING HAPPENING EVERYTHING IS FINE" made me do a big think

Coincidentally, Putin called off his agenda for today for some reason and scheduled an emergency meeting with some of his defense people. People on Twitter think these are related and possibly due to a Russian sub catching fire and killing 14 people. There was also a "story" going around that the EU had called their "Commission Security Council" to an emergency meeting, but the problem is that council doesn't exist.

Two days before a major US holiday...
Libs goin' crazy violent everywhere...

He had explosive diarrhea.

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

There was an unclean woman on his plane?

 

[Sped Xing]

He thought "opioid event" was going to be a lot more fun than it turned out

 

[Corbin Dallas Multipass]

I hope it's because he had such disgusting explosive diarrhea they couldn't take having to take a flight with him stinking up the plane.

That's unlikely to be the reason, but it'd be really funny.

That would sorta kinda do it. Concerns of a n ongoing Arctic Nuclear Sub Meltdown would seem to be something that fills every bodies calendar for the day.

Pence got an emergency text from Jonny and Hadji that Dr. Zin had just resurfaced and was threatening the planet with yet another death beam. Happens on occassion.

Trump needed his advice on picking a new Vice President.

If I was going to hazard a guess, I'd say that it had something to do with USAF FEST 00-9001 (Foreign Emergency Support Team) departing earlier in the day. The "FEST" is an on-call short-notice team poised to respond to terrorist incidents, and just a short while before all this there was an "earthquake" reported in Iran just beneath the surface. Putin has also canceled his events for the day to stay at the Kremlin and called for an urgent meeting with the defense minister. The EU Commission security council also called for an emergency meeting.

Last that I heard, there were F-22 Raptor fighter jets heading into position over the Persian Gulf. No idea what exactly seems to be happening just yet, at least nothing that isn't just pitching darts at a board, but it's pretty clear that the story isn't centered around Pence, but naturally this is the MSM we're talking about, so of course they're going to fuck it up and not ask any useful questions.
