CNN political commentator Angela Rye suggested Tuesday the national anthem itself is “problematic,” while responding to a report President Trump plans to continue complaining about national anthem protests during the lead-up to the 2018 midterm elections.

“The national anthem is problematic in and of itself,” Rye said during a panel discussion on the cable news network.
