Oops, Democrats Forgot to Be Outraged at the Betsy Ross Flag When Obama Used It

By Matt Margolis

On Wednesday, 2020 Democrat candidate Beto O’Rourke claimed that the 1776 Betsy Ross flag was a symbol of white nationalism when he announced his support for Nike for pulling a sneaker with the flag design on it because Colin Kaepernick got his panties in a twist over the sneaker that was to be released on July 4th.

Not to be out-triggered, fellow 2020 candidate Julián Castro also weighed in on the controversy, comparing the 1776 Betsy Ross flag to “painful” Confederate symbols.

It seems as though 2020 Democrats are getting their instructions on what to be outraged over by Colin Kaepernick, because getting triggered by the 1776 Betsy Ross flag wasn’t really a thing until the protesting football player decided it was offensive. Tim Murtaugh, the director of communications for the Trump reelection campaign, noted on Wednesday that the apparently offensive flag was prominently featured during the second inauguration of Barack Obama.

Democrats running for president have officially lost it.

Beto & Castro strongly imply that the Betsy Ross flag is a symbol of hatred. Do the rest of the Dems agree?

Did Obama not get the memo that the flag was offensive, or is the outrage over the flag completely manufactured by a football player trying to remain relevant? It must be the latter because Beto O’Rourke attended Obama’s second inauguration and managed to not be triggered by the flags on display.

Robert O’Rourke apparently did not “take into account the impression that that kind of symbol would have for many of our fellow Americans” when he attended the 2013 inauguration of President Obama, where the Betsy Ross flag was prominently
