Kim Reynolds implies real Americans kneel for the cross

“Now these are shirts!”, Governor Kim Reynolds posted on her political Facebook page on August 12, next to a picture of herself with two Iowa State Fair-goers.

The shirts she found appealing sent a clear message: real Americans and military service members are Christians.



The governor could have told the tens of thousands of people who like or follow her Facebook page anything about this couple. She chose to praise their shirts, featuring “I stand for the flag, I kneel for the cross” in block capital letters around a soldier kneeling in front of a cross, with a large American flag in the background.

This slogan has become popular in conservative circles. An online search brings up dozens of t-shirts and other merchandise. The meme originated as a response to African American football players kneeling during the national anthem, in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

driven by Russian web sites and propaganda.
