Let's stand united against terrorists, against racism, against white supremacists, against killing of cops, against police brutality, against sex slave trafficking.. against anything that is not the ideal for this country. ‘
What exactly was wrong with her stance in 2017 that she needed to grow from.? What did she need to learn? What maturity had she not obtained yet?
The lesson would be never apologize to the mob. They are never satisfied. Look at what they did the Drew Brees. That guy has done more for New Orleans than probably anyone and they still came for him when he defended the flag.
This is what Kelly Stafford was actually quoted saying in the article I posted. It was an apology for her stance in 2017 that you referenced. Please, if you are going to make an effort to rebut every single comment posted in this once hallowed forum, get some comprehension skills.
"When Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem, I had strong feelings about it," Kelly Stafford wrote in an Instagram post Saturday. "Even when he kept saying it had nothing to do with the flag or military, I didn’t listen. I kept not listening to him or anyone else and let the political rhetoric persuade me that him kneeling was disrespectful to our military. Over the past several months, I have opened my ears, mind, and heart and it has opened my eyes to see how wrong I was and for that I am sorry."
This is one of the biggest problems that America faces with Trump supporters: they just don't listen very well, and they refuse to admit their mistakes.
