Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren faced a backlash when she tweeted a photo of Colin Kaepernick on a knee while U.S. troops were being deployed was photoshopped as the background.

The Thanksgiving tweet was met with criticism, support, and controversy, just like the wider NFL debate. The photo doesn’t indicate who put together the image, but Lahren captions it “Food for thought.”
