SPORTS: “[W]hen I see people kneeling during the playing and disrespecting our flag and disrespecting our national anthem, what I do personally is turn off the game. And the ratings for the basketball are way down, if you know. And I hear some others are way down, too, including baseball because all of a sudden now baseball’s in the act.
We got to stand up for our flag. We have to stand up for our country. We have to stand up for our anthem, and a lot of people agree with me. Hey, if I’m wrong, I’m going to lose an election, OK? And that’s OK with me, but I will always stand for our country and for our flag.”
