During a recent interview on Sinclair’s America This Week, rock legend Ted Nugent claimed that the recent Black Lives Matter protests are “soulless” and “stupid”, especially in regards to their disrespect for the American flag.

During a Sunday interview on Sinclair’s “America This Week”, rock legend Ted Nugent claimed that the recent Black Lives Matter protests are “soulless” and “stupid”, especially in regards to their disrespect for the American flag.

“I love hearing the Star-Spangled Banner. Let’s talk a little bit about what’s going on in the country … You see them kneeling when as the song is being played, you see them disrespecting the flag that is on my chest and probably on your arm. What does that do to Ted Nugent?” host Eric Bolling asked Nugent.

“I identify those people as being real soulless, real stupid. They don’t even know what they’re doing. I mean, they claim that somebody’s hands were up, and they got shot. That’s a lie. I know the situation. I’ve studied those situations, and nobody’s hands were up, and nobody got shot. So the entire premise of that so-called protest is based on a lie.” said Nugent, referring to the Michael Brown killing in Ferguson, Missouri.

The full interview with Nugent is embedded below:

“And they can’t be that stupid. They know it’s a lie. They’re just liars. So when you see someone disrespecting our flag, um, they don’t deserve any respect themselves, and they should be ashamed of themselves,” Nugent concluded.

This is not the first time Nugent has taken an aggressive stance when it comes to defending the American flag, we don’t expect it to be the last.
