Why not explain why it’s wrong? Or would that not be appealing to the leftist base for your 2020 run?

Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton offered an endorsement on Wednesday to an 11-year-old girl for kneeling during the Pledge of Allegiance, telling her to “keep up the good work.”
Clinton tweeted in response to a NowThis video about Mariana Taylor, a sixth-grader at Catonsville Middle School in Baltimore County, Maryland. The video talks about how she was reprimanded by her teacher in May for kneeling in protest during the Pledge of Allegiance. Taylor, a student “with strong beliefs about racial injustice, sexism, gay rights and President Trump’s proposed wall at the Mexico border,” said she was inspired to kneel by former NFL player Colin Kaepernick and his protests against racial injustice, the Washington Post reported.
“It takes courage to exercise your right to protest injustice, especially when you’re 11! Keep up the good work Mariana,” Clinton tweeted.
