‘American Idol’ Star Takes a Knee After Singing the National Anthem

Former American Idol singer Jessica Sanchez took a knee after the final line of the national anthem prior to the Chargers-Raiders game on Sunday.

The moment came when Sanchez finished with the line “and the home of the brave.” She then knelt in the middle of the field.

Strangely, according to Fox 5 in San Diego, the singer’s Facebook page showed the moment when the stadium announced Sanchez as the anthem singer. Yet, it didn’t show her kneeling for the anthem, and then, the video was deleted from her account entirely.

According to the AP, Sanchez says she supports the player protests against racial inequality and police brutality, and Donald Trump. Sanchez said, “I’m 100 percent for the message, as far as what the message has been behind everybody kneeling. I still show my respect to the veterans, but I do disagree with what’s going on in the office.”
