Carol Sullivan: Trump shows ignorance, hypocrisy toward our National Anthem
The President of the United States does not know the words to the National Anthem. He tried to pretend he was singing at a football game last week and failed miserably. His wife had to remind him to put his hand over his heart while standing for the National Anthem. Why does he think he has the right to condemn the football players who take a knee, to express their freedom of speech, when he dishonors the flag and his country every day?
