The Republican National Committee is sending a not-so-subtle message to
dozens of Democratic officials -- including presidential candidates and
congressional leaders -- in a stated attempt to remind them of how blessed
they are to live in the United States.
Seventy-three top-ranking officials are being sent an American flag
alongside a copy of the United States Flag Code and a letter from the
Republican Party, Fox News has learned.
"In recent weeks it has become increasingly clear that the proper respect
and handling for the United States flag is an issue for the Democrat
Party," RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote in the letter, obtained by Fox
News, which is being sent this week.
The RNC's move comes as the nation debates how to appropriately express
dissent with the United States government. Protesters in Colorado, for
example, recently prompted swift criticism when they removed an
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility's American flag and
replaced it with one from Mexico -- a response to Trump's scheduled
deportation raids from the agency.
"To have our flag be taken down and have protesters put up another
country's flag is just egregious," McDaniel told Fox News during a phone
interview. Democrats, the RNC told Fox News, responded with "deafening
silence" to attacks on the flag.

McDaniel told Fox News that the flags should serve as a wake-up call for
Democrats and signal that they've been "too silent" on the issue. "This is
one thing that should unite Republicans and Democrats," she said. "We
shouldn't be divided on the greatness of America."
Recipients included 50 state Democratic headquarters, 19 of the Democratic
candidates who qualified for the first primary debate, one to billionaire
Tom Steyer, and three for top Democratic leaders -- House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez.

"I think we want to remind them: you're blessed to live here, many
Americans are patriotic, they want to see our congressional members stand
for our country and stand for our flag," McDaniel told Fox News. "We're
just going to give them a little gentle, kind, friendly reminder of what
that means."
The RNC also pointed to the controversy surrounding the Betsy Ross flag
and July 4th protests that included burning an American flag outside of
the White House."The American flag is a powerful symbol of freedom and
independence that many have died to protect. It deserves to be treated as
such," McDaniel wrote in her letter.
SENS. INTRODUCE BILL REQUIRING FEDS' AMERICAN FLAGS TO BE AMERICAN MADE
“Included in this package is a new American flag and a copy of 'The Flag
Code' from Title 4 of the United States Code, Chapter 1.” it said.
Long before the RNC's campaign, the president fueled an already raging
debate about the American flag when he weighed in on NFL players' protests
during the national anthem. In July, Trump ignited yet another media
firestorm when he suggested that freshmen Democratic congresswomen didn't
show enough respect for the United States.

So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally
came from countries whose governments are a complete and total
catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if
they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......

....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest
and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why
don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested
places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....

McDaniel said she hoped those congresswomen -- Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-
Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna
Pressley, D-Mass. -- would respond by recognizing they lived in the
greatest country and were blessed to have the freedoms they had.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
