While presenting at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, Kevin Hart told the audience they were "allowed to kneel" seemingly referencing how NFL players have been kneeling out of protest during the national anthem.
"This game you're allowed to kneel," Hart said while presenting with fellow comedian Tiffany Haddish.
He continued: "You can do whatever you want there's no old white men to stop you."
Hart, 39, also said the award show was like "a typical day at the White House."
“Beefs pop off, bad language, people run to the bathroom and send out crazy tweets,” Hart said. "It's basically like a typical day at the White House. In your face Trump, suck it."
Earlier this month, NFL players continued to protest during the national anthem on August 9 as the league began the first full week of its 2018 preseason.
Some players held their fists in the air, while others decided to kneel, despite the controversy surrounding the action.
Hart's outburst was one of several political moments during the Monday night award show.
Rapper Logic donned a shirt that read "F--- the wall" while singing his song "One Day" with Ryan Tedder. The 28-year-old singer was joined on stage by immigrant leaders, parents and children, all wearing t-shirts that said "we are all human beings," in protest of the Trump administration's family separation and detention policy.
During the performance, it showed families being seperated on stage by a human-made wall. When the wall fell towards the end of the performance, the children and their parents reunited.

Interesting. People not happy with his hate mongering?
It would be great to protest the NFL by holding signs complaining about not having equal numbers of female athletes
As long as people use NFL games to get together and drink heavily, it will prosper.

The relentless virtue signaling at award shows is nauseating!
A misnomer if ever there was one.

A perfect example why these so-called “events” ( including the Academy Awards and NFL games) are being ignored by regular Americans. First, no one is interested in watching a bunch of self-promoters give awards to each other for doing nothing of substance (or doing end zone dances for catching a ball). Second, these events have become so politicized and predictably left-wing that any pleasure which might be derived from listening to the music (or watching the game) is drowned out by these whining, disrespectful, sore losers.
