Colin Kaepernick's girlfriend Nessa issues strong message in response to Nick Bosa's viral MAGA stunt
Nessa, the girlfriend of Colin Kaepernick, aimed at San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa. After the 49ers' win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, Bosa crashed Brock Purdy's postgame interview with a MAGA hat on.
The clip went viral and Nessa took to her Instagram story to share it and said she stands with Kaepernick.
"#IMWITHKAP, #STILLWITHKAP," Nessa wrote on her Instagram story.
It was a strong message from Nessa to back up her boyfriend who was seemingly barred from the NFL for getting political and kneeling during the anthem.
In 2019, Bosa called Kaepernick a clown in a now-deleted tweet, which could also explain why Nessa isn't a fan of the star pass rusher. He then apologized at a press conference after being drafted.
"It wasn't directed toward that. It's not like I'm saying his stance and what he was doing -- that's not what I was talking about at all. It was just a specific thing that happened, and me, as a young kid, a thought popping into my head and, boom, decided to tweet it out. Bad decision. I respect what he's done. If it empowers anybody, then he's doing a good thing. I apologize for that."
Kaepernick and Bosa never played alongside each other as the quarterback's last season was in 2016 while Bosa wasn't drafted until 2019.
Nick Bosa wouldn't comment on MAGA hat
After Nick Bosa crashed the interview, he was asked about wearing the hat during the postgame press conference. However, the star pass rusher said he wouldn't comment about it.
“I’m not going to talk too much about it, but I think that it’s an important time,” Bosa said, via CNN.
Although Bosa did not talk about the hat, he has been a vocal Donald Trump supporter, so it wasn't surprising that he wore it.
This season, Bosa has recorded 28 tackles, one forced fumble, one interception and 4.5 sacks. The 49ers are on their bye week before they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 10.
