a) Elite athletes who take a respectful knee to show solidarity for their friends and relatives who routinely get pulled over for nothing which sometimes tragically escalates into loss of innocent life. Their dignified action can and will cause some of them shorter careers and substantial loss of income.

b) Privileged billionaire who is outraged that the law enforcement community was effectively following someone who had become an active asset of Russian intelligence that actually led to guilty people being arrested and some copping a guilty plea already.
