In a rousing speech on the House floor, Congressmember Hakeem Jeffries today took President Donald Trump to task for his recent remarks and Twitter posts condemning any football player that doesn’t stand at attention and takes a knee during the playing of the National Anthem, and telling owners to “Get that son of a bitch off the field.”
Trump’s divisiveness was derided across the country from both ends of the mainstream political spectrum. Also speaking out against Trump’s latest outragious comments were a number of sports owners, coaches and players including Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
