Super Bowl LII: Kellyanne Conway Says 'You Take a Knee for the Lord and You Stand for the Flag'
Newsweak ^ | 2/4/18 | Grace Guarnieri

Posted on 02/04/2018 2:13:24 PM PST by markomalley

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.

"That is what I want to know"

The answer is that no player of either team disrespected the flag before this game.

Too funny! If we all stopped doing ad dealing with anything that had some part of it that offended our sensibilities, we'd be living in the forest with twigs woven for clothing and eating insects/grubs.

Why don't you try to follow them 'core beliefs" rigidly for a while - and when you get tired of it and are allowed to touch a computer/operating system/browser/internet provider, etc., again, let us know what it was like....

the Man that started the movement

It started in 2016; Trump had nothing to do with it then.

Your hatred for President Trump has been made quite clear these past few days.

Why do you hate President Trump so much, heights? Or should we refer to you as Mr Kristol?
