Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly wondered if shoemaker Nike was "feeling proud" after its brand ambassador Colin Kaepernick called the killing of a top Iranian general an "expansion of American imperialism."

Kelly, who left Fox to join NBC and was later fired for defending blackface, suggested that Kaepernick approaches every issue through the lens of racism.

"Because everything is racist," tweeted Kelly on Saturday night. "Everything. Even fighting back against terrorists who kill Americans. Nike, feeling proud?"

Hours earlier, Kaepernick, 32, had lashed out at President Trump over his Thursday airstrikes in Baghdad, which killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia leader Mahdi al Muhandis, saying there is "nothing new about American terrorist attacks against Black and Brown people for the expansion of American imperialism."

The former NFL quarterback, who has been unable to find work as a football player after kneeling during the national anthem to protest racism and police brutality, was instrumental in Nike pulling a Betsy Ross shoe over the summer because it marked an era when slavery existed in the United States. In December, Nike sold out of a $110 shoe featuring Kaepernick on the heel in one day.
