Last night at an Alabama rally for Republican Sen. Luther "Very" Strange, deranged dotard (heehee) Donald "Rump" Trump flailed at a number of favorite targets in a rambling, hour- and- a- half crock of a monologue: "Crooked Hillary"... Sen. John McCain ... "Little Rocket Man" Kim Jung-Un ... Colin Kaepernick?

Shifting oddly into a fake Southern accent (!) at times during the speech, Rump actually took time to throw this rotting red meat into the heavily soiled cage containing his knuckle- dragging, white yahoo base. Being students of the Constitution (Second Amendment only!), they loved it, as Rump knew they would.
NFL players, sports analysts, activists and civil libertarians not so much:

Very revealing that the harshest language Trump has ever used as President was reserved for Black men protesting injustice. https://t.co/v2I6tf5ZHq— Shaun King (@ShaunKing) September 23, 2017
Trump was quicker and more vehement in his hatred of Colin Kaepernick’s non-violent protest than he was of Nazis. Take note of that.— Anthony F. Irwin (@AnthonyIrwinLA) September 23, 2017
Prediction: Not one NFL owner, not Roger Goodell will say one word about what he said about Kaep or other NFL players. Not. A. One. https://t.co/tBv3Q5FZHp— Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) September 23, 2017
To be clear, Colin Kaepernick's "crime" is protesting systemic racism and police brutality. Trump called him a "son of a bitch" tonight.— Ben Gardner (@BenGardner87) September 23, 2017
We know who the real son of a bitch is, though.
UPDATE: Well, Jemele was wrong about Roger Goodell at least (though he didn't name names).
