On the morning of the Fourth of July, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who just finished nuking the Betsy Ross sneaker produced by Nike, decided to target the Fourth of July itself, cherry-picking from a speech by the great 19th century anti-slavery orator Frederick Douglass.
Kaepernick didn’t figure Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was paying attention, but he was, and Cruz, a student of history, proceeded to smash Kaepernick, pointing out that not only was Douglass pro-America, he venerated the Declaration of Independence itself, which was signed on the Fourth of July.
