Hillary Clinton seems to be siding with the NFL football players who have embarked on this controversial kneeling pose that many believe is disrespectful to the country’s flag and National Anthem. Donald Trump has made himself very clear about his feelings on the NFL players kneeling and Hillary has adopted the polar opposite of Trump’s view on the subject.

The former Secretary of State is continuing her book tour across the pond over the last view days and besides telling folks What Happened, (which is the title of her book), during the election, she is spewing her thoughts about what’s happening now. Fox News reports Hillary defended the NFL players kneeling during the National Anthem while on her book tour Sunday.

Hillary shared her thoughts on how “kneeling is a reverent position that is not against our anthem or our flag.” According to Fox News, Hillary used her time at this interview at the Southbank Center’s London Literature Festival to urge Democrats to use the NFL kneeling issue against Trump.

The kneeling in the NFL is a statement against Trump, which is what Hillary basically passed along during her “book tour” interviews. While the NFL players kneeling happened after the fact of the presidential election, many are wondering why this is now part of her “book tour” conversation about What Happened during the election. As seen across the social media sites, people are questioning the agenda of this book tour. Some of those tweets can be seen at the end of this article.

She also urged people to resist “what are very clear dog-whistles” to the Trump administration and their supporters, referring to the example of NFL players going down on their knees during the National Anthem.

Hillary was given a question about the ways to resist the White House and she responded by saying, “That’s what black athletes kneeling was all about. That’s not against our anthem or our flag.” She urged the Democratic Party to “resist” the president, according to Fox. She said, “stand up, fight back, resist.” If the Democrats “recede from those fights,” Hillary said it would be a “grave error.”

By now you might be asking yourself, is she really out there promoting a book? Some folks from across the social media sites are suggesting she is still fighting Donald Trump under the umbrella of a book tour. As seen in the tweets below, this is not a typical book tour as far as some Twitter users are concerned. One social media user below refers to Hillary’s book tour as a “phony” book tour.
