Those same voters are slamming Kaep. Hypocrites. All he's trying to do is make America Great (again). A theory close to majority of the electorate agrees on. It's a non story.

Sitting on his arse on the bench at a football game does NOT make America great again (It does, however, possibly make the 49ers great again).

If he's such a justice warrior, I want to know what else he has done to further the cause that actually requires him to do something of value and substance. If you told me he goes out and mentors youth or volunteers at soup kitchen or donates large sums of money to fight poverty, I would respect him a lot more. It's very easy just to sit down.
