Attorney General Jeff Sessions said NFL players who have declined to stand for the national anthem in protest have not thought through why they are doing so.

“What you think it’s about?” Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked Sessions regarding the recent protests. “Why do you think that some of the most successful people in our society would be taking a public stand against symbols of the country itself?”

“First, my thought is they haven’t thought it through,” Sessions responded. “They haven’t realized that what they are doing is actually demeaning the country, not some politicians that they disagree with.

Not some issue that they feel strongly about. How is that the right way to express such a view? You should be able to articulate your view, advocate your view, defend your view against people who disagree.”
