Sales of Rush Limbaugh’s “Betsy Ross” flag T-shirt have skyrocketed — enough for a $3 million donation of proceeds to the non-profit Tunnel to Towers Foundation, the radio host announced Monday on “Fox & Friends.”
Limbaugh debuted the shirt earlier this month on the show, saying he wanted to give people a way to push back against Colin Kaepernick after the ex-NFL quarterback objected to Nike releasing sneakers featuring the Betsy Ross. Kaepernick reportedly argued the flag was a symbol of slavery in America.
