The Twitterverse had a field day after New York Congressman Lee Zeldin called out 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick following the arrest of the man behind the recent New York City bombing.
Kaepernick, who started a silent protest against social injustice by kneeling during the national anthem, has made news headlines on a daily basis. But this time it was Zeldin’s turn.

Zeldin’s tweet quickly caught fire and Twitterers immediately began their roasting.
If your first thought after a suspect is arrested is “How am I gonna stick it to Kaepernick?”

While Zeldin’s tweet may have backfired, the good news is terror suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami is now behind bars.
