Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz responded to Colin Kaepernick on Thursday after the former NFL quarterback misleadingly posted an excerpt of Frederick Douglass’s famed speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”

“What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? This Fourth of July is yours, not mine…There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than are the people of these United States at this very hour,” Kaepernick wrote, quoting a speech that Douglass delivered on July 5, 1852 to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society.

He was wasting his breath on Kaepernick.  It was for the American people he gave the lesson; Kaepernick is too far left to either understand or appreciate another point of view.

I don't think he was talking to Kaepernick.
