Like a thousand words … the message sent by a Washington Post photo captured the exact sentiment many Americans feel a Hillary Clinton presidency would deliver.
The photo shows several American flags crumpled up on the floor at the foot of some bleachers, along with the caption: “With many hours to go, Clinton’s staff has flags ready for their election night party.”

Suffice it to say, the reaction on social media was not kind … nor should it have been. At the very least, the Clinton campaign can take a few extra minutes to treat “Old Glory” with the dignity and respect she deserves.
Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
@postpolitics @melinamara glad to see HRC cares so much about the flag that it is just tossed on the ground

@hourigan07 @postpolitics @melinamara @HillaryClinton‘s treatment of the #benghazi 4 note makes total sense.#unelectable

@GnonProphet @postpolitics @melinamara Probably. Then again, never underestimate the ignorance of our media when it comes to stuff like this

@postpolitics @melinamara That’s not appropriate placement even for temporary placement, do they need a flag handbook?
