O.J. Simpson says he agrees with Donald Trump -- Colin Kaepernick "made a mistake" taking a knee during the national anthem ... and completely disrespected the American flag."I think Colin made a mistake," Simpson told The Buffalo News ... "I really appreciate what he was trying to say. I thought he made a bad choice in attacking the flag."
"I grew up at a time when deacons were in the KKK. I don't disrespect the Bible because of those guys. The flag shouldn't be disrespected because of what cops do. The flag represents what we want America to be."
"When he did it the first time I thought, 'Well, you took a gamble, and I give you credit.' But it was him continuing to do it where he made the biggest mistake."
"I'm a firm believer of doing what you think is right, but I would always stand for the flag."
As far as his relationship with Trump, O.J. says he was friends with Donald back in the day and even went to Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples.

(2,120 posts)... per the civil trial which you LOST and were told to fork over $25 million to the families of your victims?
Oh, that's right, not one penny. Shows how much respect you have for the flag and what it represents, when you blatantly ignore the rule of law as you did when you killed two people, went on the run, lied constantly about your actions, then attempted robbery and wound up in the slammer.
Fuck off, murderer!

(5,914 posts)I was hoping when he got out of the joint that he would be seen as literally old news and, therefore, irrelevant. Apparently not.
Maybe the Comrade will give him a cabinet position...

(14,249 posts)Colin kneeling to protest police brutality (you know, something you personally have never been a victim of but successfully pimped anyway so you could escape conviction) is an EXCELLENT choice.
But thanks for weighing in on a topic that no one is interested in your opinion about.

(54,050 posts)First, he didn't attack the flag. He attacked the hypocritical misuse of it by right wingers.
Second, Colin's attacks were verbal and didn't leave any dead bodies behind. Glass houses, anyone?
Initech
(99,909 posts)He did not disrespect the flag. He even had help from a friend who was a former Green Beret who advised him to kneel instead of sit, and also it was during a practice game. People don't even get their facts right.
