Liberals can’t even fake patriotism.
“Variety,” the trade magazine for the entertainment industry, is making one last anti-Donald Trump stab on the eve of the president-elect’s inauguration by issuing a special Inauguration Issue of the publication.
It features from left to right on its cover 9/11 truther and CNN contributor Van Jones, occasional filmmaker Michael Moore, comedienne Chelsea Handler, hoax rape victim Lebna Dunham and “Hamilton” actor Brandon Victor Dixon.
They’re depicted defiantly holding the American flag much like a vampire slayer might clutch a crucifix to ward off the coming evil.
There’s only one problem: The flag is touching the floor, something every Brownie and Cub Scout knows is verboten.
And this isn’t just tradition or a matter of flag etiquette — it’s a violation of federal law.
Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Code provides in paragraph (b) that: “The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.”
Folks on social media weren’t amused.

@DRUDGE_REPORT No surprise. Liberals also like to burn, and stand on the flag as well.

@DRUDGE_REPORT I’m surprised they’re not standing on it or burning it

At least one thought “Variety” should share the blame.
I’ve always thought @Variety was a poor excuse for a magazine, but they’ve taken it one step further by letting the flag drag the ground. pic.twitter.com/oAGVYe7qhE

The next time the magazine pulls a stunt like this, they should hire a Girl Scout as a technical advisor — and pay her well.
