But I will gladly stand next to anyone who does.
And, if need be, I will stand in front of them, between them and those who hurl insults or threaten violence.

The American way of life is about the right to protest just like this. Would love to see half the players kneeling and the other half standing behind them with a hand in their shoulders in support.

(5,477 posts)I also served to preserve the rights of people to express their First Amendment rights, whether I personally agreed with them or not.
tRump's speech this morning shows a massive disrespect for the Constitution and the First Amendment, in abject disregard for his Oath of Office.
