You offer ZERO in terms of solutions to real problems, and police brutality is a BIG PROBLEM. You're nothing more than a snake and an opportunist who will stop at nothing to get elected, including supporting a conman who criminalized your father and made fun of your wife.

My husband is a disabled vet. He knows that the protesting football players are not protesting the Military or American Flag. They are protesting injustices. So, Rafael, sit down and let a real Texan take over your job. You are really Canadian after all.

Bring something a little bit better than that silly shit. Those players have a constitutional right to express themselves. I personally wouldn’t but I respect there right to protest.
