TMZ caught up with Sen. Ted Cruz as he was disembarking from Reagan National Airport to hear his thoughts on the recent flap overColin Kaepernick.

The onetime presidential candidate was predictably peeved at the insolence of “rich, spoiled athletes” like Kaepernick who stirred up controversy by refusing to rise for the national anthem in order to protest police brutality.

People like Kaepernick “didn’t recognize what an incredible blessing this country is,” Cruz said, adding that it was “very easy to disrespect this country” when “you’re sitting there, rolling in millions of dollars.”
