Rep. Morris Jackson “Mo” Brooks Jr. (R-Ala.) recently weighed in on the Nike’s Betsy Ross sneaker controversy, saying that former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick should leave America if he does not like the country.
Brooks made his comments during an appearance on SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Tonight on July 3 in response to Kaepernick’s issue with one of Nike’s newest sneaker design featuring Betsy Ross flag, an older version of the American flag that was created during a time when slavery was widespread, saying it was “offensive.” The sports giant had made the sneaker to celebrate July 4.
