Ahead of Super Bowl LII on Sunday, counselor to the president Kellyanne Conway defended President Donald Trump's feud with protesting NFL players who have taken a knee during the national anthem, saying "In my house and in many other households across this country we say 'you take a knee for the lord and you stand for the flag.'"
"I think that we don't have any kneelers today. We'll see what happens," she said. Conway showed support for the Philadelphia Eagles, donning a team beanie during a Sunday interview with Fox & Friends.
She defended Trump's right to "stand up for the flag," though Trump has slammed NFL players' protests, even calling on NFL owners to fire players who took a knee during the national anthem in September. "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired. He's fired,'" Trump told the crowd gathered at a rally for GOP Senator Luther Strange.

Bite me! Quit doing the Left’s job troll.
I’m watching — I’m a Philly girl — I watched very few games this season, but I am watching now. Sorry if that makes me a hypocrite, but this is pretty darn important to me and my family. The energy when I was shopping today; so many people wearing jerseys, hats, scarves, everyone smiling and excited, gotta say it was pretty cool!
You seem to be stuck on ‘Holes’ and ‘Homo’ and ‘Bite me’. That latent homosexuality really got a hold of ya, seek help.
You didn’t start the “Don’t watch” movement, Trump did.
Some people have more than pocket change...
Responding to your vibe; your kind disgusts me. But shutting up is out of your wheelhouse. Continue your SJ semaphore.
It's OK, heights!
Nice!
Thanks, Leni
Had to defend your ‘Buddy’? How sweet...
Just trying to help your homo sensitivities - it's OK, heights! Embrace your procilivities!
“Responding to your vibe; your kind disgusts me.”
You mean Straight guys?
Some of them did some kind of “hand on shoulder” virtue signal.

This ‘Cult Of Personality’ is actually interesting to observe. Trump was right, he could shoot a man on the street and some of his supporters would justify it.
Just wondering Heights, how do/did you determine xone is a “Non-Contributor” to FR?
I said if no one kneels I watch.
Now cut it out.....our President deserves a break!
It’s because of him that awareness has put pressure on those who were protesting.
“Just wondering Heights, how do/did you determine xone is a “Non-Contributor” to FR?”
Click on their name, if no Flag pops up, they are a non-contributor.
He asked people to join his movement, which I did and everyone I know did. No one I know is watching today, except the very man that asked us to boycott them. If that seems right to you, I don’t know what to tell ya.
