Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he supports Kanye West’s idea to bring President Donald Trump and one-time pro quarterback Colin Kaepernick together, TMZ is reporting.
“Anything to bring the country together. I want to watch football without feeling guilty about it. I believe in speaking your mind and having your say," said Graham.
Graham said the major issue he has with Kaepernick is not standing for the National Anthem, but there are issues they might all agree on.
"I want to work on sentencing reform, prison reform," Graham says. "A lot of people in jail for a long period of time. African-American males, Hispanic males, particularly. Three strikes and you're out has been pretty hard. So, might be something we can all work on that would bring us together."
According to TMZ, Kanye West said he has reached out to Kaepernick and wants to arrange a special meeting with Trump at the White House.
