Ex-Obama adviser: Trump has done 'more to disrespect our country' than any football player

A former aide to President Barack Obama on Friday tore into President Trump over his continued attacks on NFL players who kneel in protest during the national anthem.

"Trump has done far more to disrespect our country and our flag than any football player, including these constant attacks on black athletes," former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes tweeted.

The tweet from Rhodes, a former deputy national security adviser, came after Trump slammed the NFL earlier in the day for not implementing penalties for players who protest during "The Star-Spangled Banner."

“Can you believe that the disrespect for our Country, our Flag, our Anthem continues without penalty to the players," Trump tweeted Friday morning. "The Commissioner has lost control of the hemorrhaging league. Players are the boss!”

Trump has repeatedly called for the NFL to implement a rule requiring that players stand during the anthem — or to fire those who don't.

The NFL said last month it has no plans to implement such a ban. NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart said the commissioner planned to speak to the teams and owners “about how to use our platform to both raise awareness and make progress on issues of social justice and equality in this country.”

Ben Rhodes engineered the Obama/Soros campaign to put over the giving of $150 billion to US enemy Iran.

Ben Rhodes is part and parcel of the 'Clinton Mafia'....only he, Ben Rhodes, who worked for a man who openly condemned America, would make such a charge against a POTUS who truly loves his country.

Rhodes is another socialist who has no use for the United States Constitution. Pay no attention to the little man other than to know where he works and for whom.

>>>Trump has done ‘more to disrespect our country’ than any football player<<<

That is because YOUR country is not OUR country . . . YOUR country is an alternate reality.
