President Trump argued that Drew Brees should have stood by comments he made denouncing players who knelt during the national anthem. The New Orleans Saints quarterback apologized for the comments shortly after they went viral.
“I am a big fan of Drew Brees. I think he’s truly one of the greatest quarterbacks, but he should not have taken back his original stance on honoring our magnificent American Flag. OLD GLORY is to be revered, cherished, and flown high,” Trump tweeted Friday afternoon. “We should be standing up straight and tall, ideally with a salute, or a hand on heart. There are other things you can protest, but not our Great American Flag – NO KNEELING!”
