Herschel Walker powerfully sticks up for Trump but misconstrues protesting athletes

As expected. The MSM has been spending time since the end of the RNC taking down the speakers, one by one.

[Steely Tom]

Mr. Walker needs help from CNN to understand what he’s seeing.

[RatRipper]

Somebody drag out the BS meter. . . .

What country is better for Black People than the Untied States?

Which one?

Secondly, these people (gasp!), Athletes I mean, get paid Millions of Dollars to play a game. The very definition of oppression./sarc

[goodnesswins]

Wonder when blacks will protest young black men murdering others in DISPROPORTIONATE numbers????...

[gov_bean_ counter]

Gaydar spinning like a centrifuge...

[Vermont Lt]

I love when I am told that what someone said isn’t really what he said.

I listen to Walker. He was impressive.

[a fool in paradise]

BS the football players who earn millions are protesting the lack of black people in the upper offices of the NFL organization.

Police have zero zip nada to do with any of these kneeling protests

“Brandon Tensley”

He be the man to correct Walker.... what a twit

I’m glad there’s no bias in this article. /sarcasm

"Just because someone loves and respects the flag, our national anthem, and our country doesn't mean they don't care about social justice," Walker said. "I care about all of those things, and so does Donald Trump. He shows how much he cares through his actions. And his actions speak louder than any stickers or slogans on a jersey."

...

Evidently, Walker and his ilk are aggrieved more by players' support for racial justice than by the at times dangerous behavior of agents of the state, and thus level slippery accusations of disrespect.

The author probably doesn't even realize how clearly he makes Walker's point for him.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, but anyone with any sense who saw Mr. Walker or any of the other speakers last night - on cspan with no commentators - just the awesome speeches - are not listening to the liars in the MSM.

I listened late into the night to the cspan callers. For some reason they were letting the callers come in without dividing them up as they usually do. They came in by the truckload favorable to the RNC.

[Arones]

It was a night of revisionist history....

This, from the experts.

"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses Black people and people of color," Colin Kaepernick said in 2016. "There are bodies in the street and people getting away with murder."

Brendon Tensley can't read plain English. Kaepernick is expressly blaming the country and refusing to honor the flag. Brendon is an idiot.

CNN Opinion = Fake news

My fagometer needle is pegged and bending.

I thought you were going to say he was in drag.

Misconstrued ?

Must of had sh/t in their ears

( Probably their melted brains leaking into and clogging up their ears )

Cuz to me it seemed Mr.Walker construed the issue crystal clear /-).
