San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick’s silent protest against the American flag was a hot topic for politicians on Wednesday night.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared on Fox News’s “The O'Reilly Factor” on Sept. 28, where he lambasted Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the national anthem.

“I think what is he doing is disgraceful,” Trump said. “He’s making a tremendous amount of money. He is living the American dream. He’s trying to make a point. But I don’t think he is making it the correct way. I think what he is doing is very bad for the spirit of the country.”
