Jackson Lee Takes a Knee (The Washington Free Beacon)
Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas) took a knee on the House floor Monday evening in solidarity with NFL players who do the same during the national anthem.
President Donald Trump touched off a firestorm in the NFL when he said Friday that owners should fire players who refuse to stand for the national anthem, remarking "get that son of a bitch off the field."
Jackson Lee slammed Trump's invective against the players during her House floor speech.
