Don Lemon: Standing For National Anthem Is ‘Fake Patriotism’

Weighing in on President Trump’s ongoing war with the NFL over players kneeling for the national anthem in front of paying customers, CNN anchor Don Lemon said the president is promoting “fake patriotism.”

“This isn’t about some fake patriotism, about standing or some pageantry,” Lemon said on his show. “Real patriotism is understanding what the Constitution means for all Americans and abiding by the Constitution, not doing some false presentation that you pretend to be a patriot while other people are around you going to the concession stands, getting beer, or fights in the stands or talking to each other with their baseball caps on.”
