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.

Agreed. Im totally in favor of letting media outlets burn to the ground. Get the people out, but if all their equipment burned up, the world would be a better place.

Plus they have insurance, so this shouldn't even be considered a crime.

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

Can you imagine living your life looking for any opportunity to be made a victim or to be offended? It must be exhausting.

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

Hmmm...maybe a lot of people left their flags out for another week after Memorial Day.
Stupid Drama Queen. You were fine with expletives towards Trump right?

“NYT” alone would cover that considering some of the past shite reported by the paper from Soviet propaganda to outright fabrications.

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.

It's the same one that said on Brian "I was there" Williams show that the $500 million Bloomberg spent in his failure of a campaign for the Dem nomination, would have been better spent giving $1 million to every American.

Her math was just a little off. That would have been more like $1.50 per American. She's just dumb.
