The insurrectionist took down the US flag and replaced it with a Trump flag.

Why does the media never talk about this? I haven’t seen videos of it since 1/6/21. And yet it happened. I don’t believe even the Jan. 6th Committee discussed it or showed videos of it.

1. This was so shocking. Seeing the American flag flying at the US Capitol replaced with a Trump flag.

As Steve Schmidt says, the US congress is the most important deliberative body in the world.
And it was desecrated by Trump's mob and insurrectionists.

Maybe it's too woke to describe the actual antics of the failed insurrectionists because it would make some people have a sad to know what their heroes were doing that day?

7. THANK YOU! I have discussed this ad nauseum since seeing it live on my tv and wondering WHY?

Why has no one been reporting on this? Even as they (finally) reported on the noose and scaffold.

Like the Jan (5th) 6th bomber, this is beyond my understanding!

They want Vlad and Orange Chosen One to tell them who needs to be killed. That's all they want.
