Robert Reich explains why GOP Sen. Josh Hawley has it so much better than Colin Kaepernick
Earlier this week, Regnery announced that it would be publishing GOP Sen. Josh Hawley’s forthcoming book, “The Tyranny of Big Tech,” after Simon & Schuster canceled in the wake of the Capitol riots.
How dare someone like Josh Hawley, who has incited violence, be rewarded, while Colin Kaepernick, who supports only peaceful stands against the pigs police?
There’s clearly only one explanation, and Robert Reich knows exactly what it is:
Here’s the difference, folks.
When Colin Kaepernick speaks out against racial injustice, no team will sign him.
When Josh Hawley gets dropped for helping incite an insurrection, he lands another book deal in less than 2 weeks.
This is what white privilege looks like.

Yes, it’s got to be white privilege. What else could it possibly be?
No team will sign Colin Kaepernick because he sucks. Plenty of players who kneeled alongside him are still in the league. https://t.co/RiMN2MEIB0

You missed the part where Kap still gets $11m a year from Nike for doing nothing. Is that the white heritage side of him?#LiberalPrivilege https://t.co/0PvPV23L6Y

No team will sign him because he's a mediocre quarterback with the diva ego of a Brady.
It will be a cold day when I accept that grifter as a social justice warrior. https://t.co/wGwNgdkxtc

For a victim of white privilege, Colin Kaepernick seems to be doing pretty well for himself.
You inspired Colin Kaepernick to get rich insulting America at work. https://t.co/ykjBQ51S0j

Nice work if you can get it.
Kaepernick has been fulsomely praised and feted by the elite media and our corporate class (Nike paid him 40 million) for denigrating America and promoting conspiracy theories about systemic racism.
This is what progressive privilege looks like. https://t.co/eIGvrZVWrP
