Rep. Steve King: Colin Kaepernick's Actions Are Sympathetic To ISIS
Rep. Steve King from Iowa told Newsmax TV that Colin Kaepernick's support of Black Lives Matter is "undermining patriotism" and that his "activism is sympathetic to ISIS."
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's protest against law enforcement is creating a lot of insane thoughts and responses from politicians and former athletes alike, but nobody has figured ISIS to be in play here, except for Rep. King.
It's perfectly fine to agree or disagree with Kaepernick's methods, but you can't take vengeance on him because of it. We are not in a Chan-wook Park movie.
In the interview with host Steve Malzberg, Rep. King said, "I just think of it if somebody is working for me and they represent me, that's the name scenario, legal scenario that they have on a football team."
Rep. King then instructed us on how he puts the fear of God into his own employees and if they don't adhere to his political philosophy or religious beliefs, they will be fired.
This is illegal, Steve. And it's against the Constitution, if you've ever come upon it.
The idea that this neanderthal has become an important person in Iowa and national politics is the finest example of how insane the GOP has become since Barack Obama became president.
