Hillary Clinton defends kneeling NFL players, says 'that's not against our anthem or flag'

Hillary Clinton 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.

There was a twitter live chat yesterday in connection to some talk she gave in Britain.Many of the tweets were in support and some were in opposition.One guy asked "what really happened during that meeting in Phoenix between the AG and Bill?"

No responses that I saw....understandable if the majority of tweets were from Europeans.

Another reminder of how lucky we are that she isn’t the President.

The flag and anthem unites Americans while the NFL players are trying to divide us.

Hillary attesting to what is respectful to the flag/anthem/country is laughable!

Re: “A line Hillary used in her Wellesley College commencement speech appeared under her photo: “Protest is an attempt to forge an identity.”

Says almost everything you need to know about what has motivated Hillary her entire life. Hillary has been motivated about Hillary. It's always been about her.

Yes, but look at the protest movements she choose to identify with. They're as far left as it gets. She obviously does support those movements.

It is certainly about the flag and 5 murdered cops in Dallas.

Let the Dems take that side. It is a loser.

Thank you for that aspect. I can only hope there is an investigation underway.

She’s only a racial panderer when the political winds require it. Go back and look at her 2008 campaign against Obama to see how contrived her whole political life has been. The only thing missing from her 2008 campaign was the pickup truck with the gun rack, NRA bumper sticker, and Confederate flag license plate bracket.

This country is soooo lucky! We really dodged a fatal bullet by failing to elect this cretin. ( My apologies to other cretins, I couldn’t use the descriptor I really wanted to use )

"Only one of the killers was still in prison in 1977," reports John McCaslin in the Washington Times. "The gunman, Warren Kimbro, got a Harvard scholarship and became an assistant dean at Eastern Connecticut State College. Ericka Huggins, who boiled the water for Mr. Rackley's torture, got elected to a California school board." (6)

When the left accuses us of 'hating them' we need to throw this kind of stuff in their collective snowflake faces...

I hope you’re right - that the old b**ch stays in it and completes the destruction of the ‘rat party.

Good point.

That’s why she panders . . they are only good for the $$$ and their votes

Think she’d EVER live in a minority hood? Of course not. She’s too good for everybody except elitist white people

Keep talking, Hillary.

You and people like you are why we are winning.

Does the NFL really appreciate Hillary's late party crashing? ON tiptoes, trying to calm the kneeling uproar, NFL financial wizards get to see just what she brings to their side.

The joy I get is good for my health.

Why not? According to Hillary,that is...as she makes up all the other rules as she goes along anyway.
