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.

Suspect in custody. You are welcome Colin Kaepernick.

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?”

“You’re welcome, Colin Kaepernick” is the new “thanks, Obama”

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