I respect the anthem. I would never kneel for it. We all come from different walks of life and think differently about the anthem and the flag and what that means. But I think you can respect and find a lot of truth in what these guys are talking about, and not kneel. Those aren’t mutually exclusive ideas.
“I think one of my good friends, Nate Boyer, who was a green beret, went and stood with Colin and said ‘Hey, I wish you would feel the same way I do about the flag and about the anthem, and I will stand here with you until you feel like you can stand.’ I thought that was powerful and coming from a guy who certainly could be very upset about Colin’s protest. He had an open mind and I think that’s the biggest thing. Just have an open mind.
“We’re concerned about the feelings of our vets, and I certainly am, but let’s treat our vets better on a daily basis. Why aren’t we outraged about the lack of benefits they get? How do we treat our vets when they come home? We should be outraged about those things on a daily basis.
Yup
