(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) A recent radio ad from Toyota has characterized Colin Kaepernick‘s infamous sideline protests as “an act of respect to the military,” Western Journal reported.
“Colin Rand Kaepernick, a two-time Super Bowl quarterback and NFL record holder, first knelt on one knee during the national anthem in 2016 as a sign of respect to the military and a symbol of protest against police shootings,” the ad stated.
The ad also incorrectly claims that Kaepernick was in two Super Bowls, even though he was only in one during his time with the San Francisco 49ers. It goes on to say that Kaepernick “changed the world” and “sparked a peaceful form of protest that continues around the world.”
Then, a sound bite of the footballer speaking cuts in, and makes no mention of supporting the military.
Instead, he said his goal was to “bring awareness and make people realize what’s really going on in this country.”
He continued, offering nothing other than vague, unintelligible talking points.
In fact, Kaepernick has rarely voiced open support for anything other than communist dictators. This is not entirely surprising considering his partnership with Nike and his profits from Chinese slave labor.
Kaepernick has also frequently sendt out anti-police messages, including this sentence which can be found in his book:
“In order to eradicate anti-Blackness, we must also abolish the police. The abolition of one without the other is impossible.”
Toyota has not released a statement regarding this ad, but Twitter sure has:
Wow. Toyota is just giving a giant middle finger to those of us who do love this country.

Colin Kaepernick is responsible for a more consistent stream of misinformation than almost anybody I can imagine. And he is handsomely rewarded for claiming to live in a white supremacist society. It’s a true marvel.

LMAO. Now that excuse is hilarious. Sure, the overpaid, overrated, race-baiting, leftwing hack was showing a sign of respect to the military & I’m really Santa Claus on a ski trip 2 Colorado, sipping a mojito listening to Adele’s latest in my bikini. Not. https://t.co/TIb3HKIA2r
