Christian nationalists frame flag loyalty as superseding religious protest
Evidence
First of all, Colin Kaepernick is a doofus. If he was a good football player, somebody would’ve picked him up by now. Him kneeling because of the oppression people are feeling, well, that’s just a cop out … He doesn’t know what true oppression is. If he did, then with his money would do something to help the matter, instead of just kneeling for the flag. You stand at the flag and you kneel at the cross. You do not … that’s just disrespectful to our veterans who have fought and died for your right to do that. Okay? … There is perhaps no better encapsulation of Christian nationalism than “You stand at the flag and you kneel at the cross.” — Andrew L. Whitehead; Samuel L.
