Angle: The Kaepernick Myth

 Ingraham: Colin Kaepernick’s message is deeply corrosive to children.

Laura Ingraham speaks on Colin Kaepernick's resurfacing to promote a project he co-authored on "The Ingraham Angle."

LAURA INGRAHAM: Just when you thought you'd heard the last of the NFL quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, he resurfaces to promote yet another groundbreaking project that he co-authored…

Nothing wrong with that at all. Everyone should take pride in their background and who they are. After all, Kaepernick himself led a charmed life. Adopted at 5-weeks-old by parents who, by his own account, loved and supported him.

An upper middle-class upbringing in California. Nice house, nice community. A top athlete in school, both baseball and football — probably could have played in the major leagues. His parents sacrificed to make sure that he had every opportunity to succeed.
