Tomi Lahren, known for her "angry conservative millennial" persona, has often commented on Colin Kaepernick taking a knee during the National Anthem.
She's made the mistake of coming after both Kaepernick and Beyoncé in a widely ridiculed tweet from 2017.
And the bad hot takes continue even into 2021.
Tom Brady's relationship with Donald Trump has come with a lot of criticism, considering Kaepernick was benched and essentially blacklisted from the NFL for taking a knee at football games to protest racial bias and police brutality. But after the insurrection at the Capitol, nothing happened to Brady as far as backlash.
Lahren weighed in on this, as usual.
People were immediately on Lahren's case, because these things simply do not warrant any kind of comparison.
Lahren has a plethora of bad tweets available for viewing, but this nonsensical tweet is most definitely up there for the worst of all time.
Kaepernick's record in his final active year as a player in the NFL was pretty impressive. He threw for 16 touchdowns and four interceptions, and added 468 yards and two touchdowns as a runner.
There is no indication that his record slipped before he was benched—the only thing that changed was that he kneeled during the National Anthem.
Lahren's mind hasn't changed over all these long years of being proven wrong again and again, so it's unlikely that it ever will.
She may want to watch her content though. Twitter has started banning people who lie constantly and spread misinformation.
