The President of the United States spoke at a rally on Friday, and in that speech he suggested that private citizens exercising their First Amendment right to free speech should be fired.
Specifically, the President said, "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. He is fired. He's fired!'" He did not say, “I am asking NFL owners to fire these protesters,” but the suggestion was entirely clear.
My opinions about Donald Trump are entirely clear at this point.
