Heard On Thom Hartmann's Show Today About Taking The Knee.... [View all]

The suggestion was - if one takes a knee and holds one hand on their heart during the anthem to protest police treatment - they should hold a little American Flag in their other hand to show they are not disrespecting the anthem or flag.

What do you think? Would that shut down this controversy & Trump?
