The Clinton camp says San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick deserves ârespect,â but the feeling may not be mutual.
Sen. Tim Kaine, the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, defended the NFL playerâs refusal to stand for the national anthem just a few days after Mr. Kaepernick said that Mrs. Clinton would be in jail if she were someone else.
âYou know, youâve got to respect peopleâs ability to act according to their conscience,â Mr. Kaine told ABC News anchorGeorge Stephanopoulosin a Thursday interview.
âIâd do it differently,â Mr. Kaine said. âI think if you really thought about issues and about this country, youâd do it differently, and when I heard him explain his rationale, it didnât really make that much sense to me. But youâve got to respect peopleâs ability to act according to their conscience, so I wouldnât presume to tell him what to do.â

So does this mean Tim Kaine supports Kaepernick's opinion about Clinton being thrown in jail?
