Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said that “many smart people” have said that Russia was behind the controversy surrounding former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his national anthem protests.

Harris was speaking during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” on July 12.

Harris brought up the Kaepernick situation, claiming that Russian bots may have started the controversy.

“You know, people have said… remember the whole—the heat that ended up around the bend the knee and Colin Kaepernick,” she started.

Harris is a dumb*ss!

I think what caused the Kaepernick controversy is Kaepernick, when he began kneeling versus standing for the national anthem.  He was a mediocre quarterback, I do not care what his stats read, and she is less than mediocre, but considering she comes from California, one cannot expect much from their politicians these days.

Consider the source:  "The Breakfast Club" is a program for woke black people.  They believe Smollett and the myth of the "Ice People," too.

Well, isn't this a rather safe space for her to occupy?
Offends the Russians and doesn't offend any voters.
A good (but obvious) move for her, actually, politically speaking.

What nonsense.  It wasn't Russian bots that made Kaepernick  whine to Nike about the racism inherent in sewing an American flag on the back of a sneaker.   Kaepernick exposed himself as fundamentally anti-American, not just "woke" to leftist racial tropes.    He's not just willing to protest the National Anthem while 60,000 fans stand and doff their caps.   He wants to drive from the marketplace any representations of the symbol of this nation.

And as for Kamala,  she's as big an addict of feeding on and exploiting hate as any of the 2020 Dem candidates.   In that,  she's basically the equivalent of a Russian bot.
