‘Worst Kind of Hypocrisy’: GOP Senator, WaPo Hammer Nike for Chinese Partnerships
By Peter Hasson Published on July 5, 2019
A Republican senator and the editorial board of a liberal newspaper both took Nike to task Wednesday for its Chinese partnerships.
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley accused Nike of “the worst kind of hypocrisy†for its Chinese dealings in light of the company’s decision to pull an American flag-themed shoe line following criticism from former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
“You would think that this would be something to celebrate — the ‘Betsy Ross’ flag, I mean Betsy Ross let’s not forget, an independent businesswoman, who had her own shop in Philadelphia, who designed our nation’s first flag, who sewed our first flag, I mean she’s truly a founding mother,†Hawley said in a Fox News interview.
