New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay's comments on MSNBC have been irresponsibly taken out of context. Her argument was that Trump and many of his supporters have politicized the American flag. The attacks on her today are ill-informed and grounded in bad-faith.



For the record, her comments, word for word:


“I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a really dear friend. And I was really, really disturbed. I saw dozens and dozens of pick up trucks with expletives against Joe Biden on the back of them. Trump signs, and in some cases, just dozens of American flags, which was also just very disturbing because, essentially, the message was clear. The message was this is my country, this is not your country. I own this. And it’s not just some Democrats, apparently, but even some of my colleagues in the media seem to be invested and not acknowledging that this is as serious of a threat as it is.”


The 4th of July must be hell for her.

Yes...the great unwashed are just too stupid to get nuanced messages.

The "go to" defense for liberals when they say ridiculously stupid shite (see Yale shrink).

If your opposition has successfully politicized your nation's own flag, you should look at yourself in the mirror and honestly entertain the idea that you might be the bad guy.

So in this count's opinion they don't have freedom of speech to express their opinion. Interesting. The media in the past was a big first amendment supporter. Maybe she can go see Prince Harry and his count.

As for the American flag, I will fly it any time I want and if you take offence, to hell with you.

This is the same retard who thought Bloomberg spent 1 million dollars per American on his campaign. She is an exceptionally stupid human being.

No, that's the completely subjective takeaway for you, a paranoid overly dramatic psychopath.

Her problem is that liberals don’t celebrate the American flag. They see America as an inherently flawed country without redemption. Blame liberals; not conservatives.

Mara Gay, a known racist and hates America.

Trying to spin that her words were taken out of context when it is clearly showing her hate for the flag, people’s first amendment rights, and her hate of opposing view. Way to go NYT, you never fail to prove You are a propaganda arm of the left.

Well, this is not entirely untrue...but there's a reason for that.

Last summer, I bought my first really well made American flag. Why? Because it appeared half of the country hated America, and I did not want to sit idly by while that happened, so in my own small way I wanted to show that I personally still loved my country.

So, yeah...in that way I'm sure many Americans are currently waving the flag as a "frick You" to those that now seem to hate this place. And if that's politicizing it, or making others feel unwelcome, all the better.

Also, this place make great American made flags!

She is free to fly an American flag and put out a Biden sign. Then she would openly acknowledge what we already know, the MSM is in the tank for Biden.

Because a president I don't like, liked to use the American flag (like every other potus), means the American flag should be banned!
