Most American voters feel that kneeling during the national anthem is a disgraceful and inappropriate way to protest — but it has nothing on this latest, most outrageous liberal protest.
Although still unverified, the picture seems to show a slap in the face to America’s honor. In it, a man is kneeling — seemingly in protest — while Taps plays during a ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C.
Even at the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery — for centuries a place of honor and reverence for our nation’s heroes — nothing is sacred to liberals.
In the photo, originally posted by Katie Wiederhoeft Sep. 27 on Facebook, we see a skinny young African-American kneeling during a ceremony honoring the fallen heroes of America.
“I did not speak with the man and don’t know his reasonings for kneeling. I felt at the time (and the place) it was not appropriate as I was trying to be respectful to my fallen brothers and sisters and maintain silence… He was video taping so maybe he was trying to get a better shot, but with all that is going on currently I just can’t imagine that’s what it was,” Wiederhoeft reportedly told Snopes.
Weiderhoeft said the man kneeled only during Taps, and stood immediately afterwards.
Taps is a bugle call played by the U.S. military at dusk to retire the U.S. flag or during military funerals, and is sounded at every military wreath ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider.
It is required by the U.S. Army guards at the Tomb that the audience stand and maintain a respectful silence during ceremonies. Why this man was seemingly allowed to kneel remains a mystery.
Have these kneeling protests gone too far?
