Many polls show that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are the among the disliked candidates in United State history.  Like many others, Colin Kaepernick is not of a fan of them either.  The two candidates came face-to-face for their first presidential debate on Monday night, and though Kaepernick didn’t see much of it, he was far from impressed and did not have his opinion swayed.

“I watched a little bit of it, to me it was embarrassing to watch that these are our two candidates,” Kaepernick told the Mercury News. “Both are proven liars and it almost seems like they’re trying to debate who’s less racist. At this point, in talking to one of my friends, you have to pick the lesser of two evils, but the end is still evil.”

Back in August, Trump publicly criticized Kaepernick’s national-anthem protest as the 49ers quarterback has been trying to bring attention to racial inequality and police brutality across America.  Trump said: “I think it’s personally not a good thing, I think it’s a terrible thing. And, you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try, it won’t happen.”

Kaepernick responded: “That’s a very ignorant statement, that if you don’t agree with what’s going on here and if you want justice and liberty and freedom for all, that you should leave the country.

“He always says, ‘Make America Great Again.’ Well, America’s never been great for people of color. And that’s something that needs to be addressed. Let’s make America great for the first time.”

Though Kaepernick isn’t fond of either candidate, he still plans to vote this year.
