Obama’s White House Makes Infuriating Statement About Kaepernick Refusing to Stand During National Anthem

Did we expect anything better to come from the White House regarding Colin Kaepernick? He didn’t stand for the National Anthem. It’s not too wild to say, in Obama’s America, their response would be something like ‘GET THE MAN A TROPHY!’

So, at least Earnest didn’t say that… right?

From the Independent Journal:

“Given the president’s interest in the sports world, I’m confident that he is aware of this issue, but I have not spoken to him about it”.

However, Earnest did express his own personal opinion, one that clashed with the Kaepernick’s stance:

“I think in general, what I can say is, I certainly don’t share the views that Mr. Kaepernick expressed after the game in explaining his reasoning for his actions.”

Earnest went on to say that Kaepernick should be able to publicly tout his ideologies, even if they are considered by many to be offensive:

“But we surely all acknowledge and even defend his right to express those views in the settings that he chooses. Even as objectionable as we find his perspective, he certainly is entitled to express them.”

This is true. He’s practicing his 1st Amendment right. It’s just…does he have to be an idiot about it too? His entire stance on the issue is false and his ideals are non-existent. It would be better if he actually based his stand on facts.

What a dope.
