You’d think with people like Jedediah Bila joining the The View, that conservatives would for once have a smart and informed voice amongst all the liberal cackling hens. But you’d be wrong.
Just watch this segment they did on Ted Cruz calling for a boycott of rich spoiled athletes who choose to protest during the national anthem.
What? It’s like they all are just making up what Ted Cruz said when he called for this boycott of players who protest this way.
Cruz doesn’t have a problem with any players protesting, he has a problem with them doing it during the national anthem. They are insulting the flag and all it stands for, the very flag that our men and women fought for and died, the very flag that represents the liberty for them to become rich spoiled athletes.
Here’s a reminder of what he said again yesterday:
To all the athletes who have made millions in America's freedom: stop insulting our flag, our nation, our heroes. https://t.co/GrGPYX8HCh

Here's a peaceful protest: never buy another shoe, shirt, or jersey of rich spoiled athletes who dishonor our flag. https://t.co/GrGPYX8HCh

Jedediah Bila, who I thought was fairly intelligent, made a fool out of herself. She said that Cruz was “denying the fact that this flag represents their right to disagree with him and anybody else.” What? That’s not what he said at all.
She even suggested that Cruz is a hypocrite, that if these players were protesting something Cruz agreed with during the national anthem, he would have been ok with it. How disappointing.
Behar tried to argue that Cruz doesn’t even know the Constitution, accepting the same premise that he doesn’t think they have a right to protest or something.
Then on the same premise, Whoopie started blathering about how we got the civil rights from protesting, as if to elevate Kaepernick and the phony issue he is protesting to that iconic status.
The only person who even defended Cruz was Candace Cameron-Bure, and it wasn’t even that great. She just argued that Cruz has a right to protest their protest. She’s right, but she still missed the point. They all did.
