Conservatives have done a cynical job of characterizing NFLers kneeling during the national anthem as unpatriotic thugs.
Easily adopting the duplicitous narrative is Tomi Lahren, FoxNews latest ‘talent’. Although, in her case, she went further and expressed puzzlement at the players’ motives.
.@TomiLahren on NFL anthem protests: “I would like to ask these players: What exactly are you kneeling for?” @foxandfriends
I doubt Lahren is that blissfully ignorant — I’m sure she’s just trying to make a red meat, rhetorical point. But how hilarious is it that a supposed journalist admits she has no idea that her role is. “Would like to ask” — doesn’t she know her job is to “ask”?
Then again she contributes to an organization which puts ‘News’ in its name for no discernable purpose — unless it is to reassure the faithful viewer that its shameless propaganda has some validity to it.
