Trump credits his Twitter wrath for Colin Kaepernick's unemployment
http://www.ktnv.com/news/national/trump-credits-his-twitter-wrath-for-colin-kaepernicks-unemployment
"Our inner cities will find a rebirth of hope, safety and opportunity," Trump said before bringing up Kaepernick's free agency. "Your San Francisco quarterback, I'm sure nobody ever heard of him."
Then the President clarified he was citing an article he had read.
"It was reported that NFL owners don't want to pick him up because they don't want to get a nasty tweet from Donald Trump," he said. "Do you believe that? I just saw that. I just saw that."
Kaepernick opted out of his contract earlier this month following a season in which he drew significant attention -- and criticism from some quarters -- for kneeling during the national anthem before kickoff at his games to protest racism and police brutality.
