Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake broke her silence about sitting down during the black national anthem at the Super Bowl.
A picture of Lake sitting during “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which was played prior to the National Anthem ahead of the game went viral on social media. Lake said:
“I’m against a ‘black national anthem’ for the same reason I am against a ‘white national anthem,’ a ‘gay national anthem,’ a ‘straight national anthem,’ a ‘Jewish national anthem, a ‘Christian national anthem,’ and so on.
“We are one nation, under God.

“Francis Scott Key’s words ring true for every single American citizen regardless of their skin color.
“James Weldon Johnson’s ‘Lift Every Voice’ is a beautiful song, but it is not our national anthem.”
“I’m just here for THE National Anthem,” Lake said on Twitter went her picture went viral.
