Don Lemon: Trump ‘Needs a Good History Lesson; [Kaepernick’s] Doing Exactly What the Anthem Says’

‘It’s their patriotic duty to be able to do that, to make the country a better place’

RUSH EXCERPT:
LEMON: I think the president's history on race relations shows I don't have to spell it out. All I can do is look at the history starting with the 1970s and '80s and the central park five and on and on. Look at his rhetoric on the campaign trail and beyond. I would say basically it's -- it's, as I've said before, this president needs a good history lesson. It's basically ignorance. He doesn't understand. And I would encourage the president to go and read the words from the national anthem. ... He's doing exactly what -- what the anthem says. He should go back and look at history."
