Kaepernick’s mom calls out President

- Rich Schapiro

COLIN KAEPERNICK’S mother blitzed President Trump Saturday, a day after he slammed NFL players who refuse to stand for the national anthem. Teresa Kaepernick lashed out at the President for using sharper language against NFL players than the white supremacis­ts who wreaked havoc in Charlottes­ville, Va. “He would not call out the Nazis, not call out the white supremacis­ts, but he’s calling out these guys who are peacefully kneeling and asking for their country to do better,” she told Deadspin. Trump waded into the NFL controvers­y while stumping for GOP Senate candidate Luther Strange in Alabama. “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespect­s our flag, to say, get that son of a b---h off the field right now. He is fired,” Trump told the crowd. Late Friday, Teresa Kaepernick responded to Trump in a tweet. “Guess that makes me a proud b--h,” she wrote.
