CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 18, 2021
YOU’VE HEARD OF KATIE COURIC. SHE’S THE FORMER TODAY SHOW CO-HOST, SHE BOMBED AS CBS
NEWS ANCHOR, GUEST HOSTED “JEOPARDY” AND DONE OTHER THINGS. SHE NOW WORKS FOR YAHOO
NEWS.
COURIC SCORED AN INTERVIEW SEVERAL YEARS AGO WITH JUSTICE RUTH BADER GINSBURG. AT THE
TIME THERE WAS GREAT CONTROVERSY ABOUT ESPECIALLY FOOTBALL PLAYERS KNEELING DURING THE
NATIONAL ANTHEM. GINSBURG CALLED IT STUPID, BUT SAID THERE SHOULD BE NO LAW AGAINST
KNEELING. COURIC EDITED GINSBURG’S NEXT SENTENCE WHICH HAS ONLY NOW COME TO LIGHT.
GINSBURG ALSO SAID THAT SUCH PROTESTS SHOW A “CONTEMPT FOR A GOVERNMENT THAT HAS MADE
IT POSSIBLE FOR THEIR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS TO LIVE A DECENT LIFE, WHICH THEY PROBABLY
COULD NOT HAVE LIVED IN THE PLACES THEY CAME FROM.”
NOW WE HAVE THE BLACK NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYED ALONGSIDE THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. WHEN
WILL THIS CRAZYNESS END? WHEN PEOPLE STOP ATTENDING AND WATCHING GAMES, AS I HAVE.
GINSBURG WAS RIGHT. PEOPLE HAVE SACRIFICED LIVES AND LIMBS IN ORDER FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO
ACT STUPID. AT LEAST SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR THOSE PEOPLE AND THE COUNTRY THEY DEFENDED,
INSTEAD OF ACTING STUPID. I’M CAL THOMAS.
