NEW YORK -- Donald Trump's running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence created some strong reactions on social media after he tweeted a picture with his family sitting down at a meal at a local Chili's before heading back home.

Shortly after Pence's tweet was posted, he got numerous replies questioning his choice of restaurants while in the area - some even questioning why he couldn't get a seat at Trump Grill.
