Senate candidate Roy Moore said in an interview with Time magazine released Wednesday that NFL players kneeling during the national anthem are breaking the law.
"It's against the law, you know that?" he said. "It was an act of Congress that every man stand and put their hand over their heart. That's the law."
Moore is referring to a section of the U.S. code that establishes guidelines for appropriate conduct during the anthem, but that section does not list any legal penalties for not following these rules, according to Cornell Law School.
