As support for Colin Kaepernick‘s protest against racially-motivated police brutality rises, a portion of the interview he gave to explain his stance has surfaced after it was pulled from some mainstream news outlet.
In it, he reveals that he is disheartened by the forthcoming Presidential election because he believes he has good reason to trust Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Watch below…
We have a presidential candidate who has deleted emails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate.That doesn’t make sense to me because if that was any other person you’d be in prison. So, what is this country really standing for?
His remarks come after news outlets who opposed his peaceful protest joined the parents of war veterans to blast his supposedly ungrateful attitude.
Their argument? His success in the United States gives him no right to criticise it.
Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for them, their views were outnumbered by veterans who do agree with him.
They launched the #VeteransforKaepernick hashtag to prove it.
