Karl Rove Hits Trump Over NFL Protests: ‘He’s Walking Away from This a Loser’

Karl Rove Hits Trump Over NFL Protests: ‘He’s Walking Away from This a Loser’ (Mediaite)

This morning during the NFL’s first game of the day, a bunch of players on both sidelines knelt during the national anthem while other players and Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan stood arm-in-arm. This came after two days worth of President Donald Trump’s attacks on NFL players and Colin Kaepernick for protesting racial injustice on the playing field.

With Trump continuing those attacks this morning via Twitter, former White House advisor and current Fox News contributor Karl Rovepointed out that this issue appears to be a losing one for the president.

Noting that there are better ways for Trump to address this issue, Rove explained that the president should try to do more to make people want to stand in front of the flag and why they should do it, even if there are “imperfections” in America’s history. He then highlighted why Trump will lose on this issue.
