CNN: Trump Hits NFL Players, Stays Silent on Planned White Nationalist Rally

RUSH EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "President Trump once again seeing a divided nation and doing the opposite of trying to bring us together. Giving a presidential mega phone to one side in a controversial cultural issue that sometimes stokes racial tensions. The decision at a year after what many allies consider to be the low point of his presidency. Come Sunday, white nationalists and bigots are expected to take to the street in front of the White House marking a year since the hate-filled rally in Charlottesville where Heather Heyer was killed. Rather than condemn the bigots or beliefs today, the president took aim at a protest, a small group of NFL players calling attention to racial injustice and inequality last night. He tweeted the NFL players at it again taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the national anthem. A football game fans pay so much money to enjoy is no place to protest. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for the national anthem or be suspended without pay."
