NFL players refusing to stand for the national anthem are going out of their way to show how much they hate America, Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson said Thursday evening.
“We’re only two weeks in the NFL preseason and many of the league’s richest players have gone out of the way to let you know how much they hate your country,” Carlson said. “On Monday, a dozen members of the Cleveland Browns refused to stand for the national anthem because racism or something.”
Carlson then highlighted Ohio Supreme Court Justice Bill O’Neill’s viral Facebook post in which he said that players who kneel during the national anthem “disrespect the veterans who earned them the right to be on that field.” O’Neal, as Carlson pointed out, is a Vietnam veteran.
