Hillary Clinton defends kneeling NFL players, says 'that's not against our anthem or flag'
2017-10-17
[FOXNEWS] Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
 on Sunday defended NFL players who knelt during the national anthem, saying kneeling is a "reverent" position that is not against "our anthem or our flag."

The former Democratic presidential candidate, who was at the Southbank Centre's London Literature Festival, urged Democrats to use the issue against President Trump.

Clinton was embarking on a foreign trip to promote her book "What Happened."

She said people should resist "what are very clear dog-whistles" to the Trump base, pointing to the example of kneeling NFL players.

"That's what black athletes kneeling was all about," she said in response to a question about ways to resist the White House. "That's not against our anthem or our flag."

"Actually, kneeling is a reverent position," she continued. "It was to demonstrate in a peaceful way against racism and injustice in our criminal system."

#8  Walking up to Hillary and spitting in her face is "not against our anthem or flag" either.
Not that I'm advocating this behavior, just pointing out that the NFL owners tolerating their employee's political BS is exactly the same as a business owner spitting in his customers' faces. Hillary has been spitting in the faces of much of the electorate for most of her career, naturally she fails to see this.

#7  #5...even though he gets on my last nerve with the immature tweeting.

I think some of Trump's tweets are serious and others are just (empty) piñatas for the MFM, in either case distracting them from his other moves.

#5  Thank you Rantburg for reminding me why I voted for Trump...even though he gets on my last nerve with the immature tweeting.

I am thankful that I woke up this morning and Hillary is still a failed candidate and failed bipedalist.

#3  Keep up the good work, Hillary; you're winning more votes for Trump in 2020, and we want a second term.

#1  "That's not against our anthem or our flag."

Clintonian logic appeals to her base, but is soundly rejected by tens of millions of Americans.
