kneeling saying the players don t respect the flag. in order to play football in this country, you need to respect the flag. then we have what happened with john mccain and the flag at the white house, just the other day. general michael hayden said this. remember this image the next time the president talks about disrespecting veterans. that s a flag at full staff a day after john mccain died. is hayden right? is this going to follow him? it ought to. i m sorry. this was the virtual patriotism that donald trump wants to exploit as opposed to the real patriotism that he showed so much disrespect for earlier in the week. but, you know, as a cultural wedge issue, this is irresistible to him. i can t help think of rick wilson s book, everything trump touches dies. i love the nfl. i love the green bay packers. i want to have a season where i can step away from politics and not have it be polluted by this
letter to colin kaepernick, what you are doing is disrespectful. they said, let s meet. as a result of that meeting, kaepernick learns the respectful thing to do was to kneel. that s what members of the military do to honor the fallen. that is that has all been obliterated and erased thanks to donald trump. he has turned it into reverence for the flag. you re not respecting the flag when what colin kaepernick was doing was respecting the lives that had been lost at the hands of police and wanted to bring it to national attention. that s an american thing to do, a freedom of speech thing to do. and the president, as has always been the case, has ruined it. we re going to hold this right here and continue this conversation. the issue of nfl of the nfl and players kneeling might propel what could be one of the biggest upsets come november. stay with us.
i don t mean to go no, it isn t truth isn t truth. the panel is still here. truth isn t truth. they are not weaponizing information. they re weaponizing lies and use ing it to explain away, to justify and protect this man at all costs regardless of the consequence for anything else. that s right. it dates back for donald trump to his prepolitical days back when he was a celebrity real estate guy. he would assert his version of the truth. remember, trump tower is 58 stories tall. he said it s listed adds 68. he listed it as 68 because it sounded better. this is not a new phenomenon for donald trump. you re seeing it on this stage, the president himself and others around him tell falsehoods, tell lies, miss report the truth. this ties into their fake news concept where they are trying to undermine negative stories, negative truthful stories about
political strategy, but also the dee legitimatization, the undermining of anyone who could be an independent allison rosar. he attacked google and said google was biased against him, showing things that weren t true about him. the facts are not great for him so he always has to try to undermine, attack and dee legitimatize anyone that would show an alternative version of reality. the problem is trump is obviously the worst actor in this. this is a problem that the conservative side built a long time ago. fox news started telling you that the rest of the media you can t trust. they started telling you scientists you can t trust. they re telling you lies about climate change. they started to demon eyes and dee legitimatize institutions. you have donald trump who shows up and capitalizes on the opportunity they created in a much, much worse way than we ve seen before. you wrote a brilliant op-ed about this a few years ago talking about how conservative radio did this. you asked for a bi
