Posted By Tim Hains On Date September 26, 2017
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) took to the House floor Monday night to
kneel in solidarity with NFL players who chose defy President Trump and
protest police brutality. Jackson Lee said you "cannot deny" that Trump calling players who kneel a 'son of a bitch' is "racism."
"I kneel in honor of them. I kneel in front of the flag and on this floor," Jackson Lee declared.
"I kneel in honor of the First Amendment. I kneel because the flag is a symbol for freedom. I kneel because I'm going to stand against racism. I kneel because I will stand with those young men and I'll stand with our soldiers. And I'll stand with America, because I kneel."
