COLBERT: "And today, Donald Trump was still tweeting. 'The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race.' Wrong. Kneeling during the national anthem has everything to do with race. Just like your presidency Those players are protesting racial injustice. They're not protesting the American flag. Saying that kneeling is a protest against the flag is like saying Gandhi's hunger strikes were a protest against snacking. You do realize that civil rights activists weren't sitting in at the lunch counters for better grilled cheese."
