NYT, MSNBC's Mara Gay: 'Disturbing' to see 'dozens of American flags' on trucks on Long Island
2021-06-09
[NYPOST] MSNBC contributor Mara Gay said Tuesday that she was "disturbed" to see "dozens of American flags" flown by Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
 supporters during a weekend trip to Long Island, New York.

The left-wing editorial board member for the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 was also distressed by what she called expletives on the trucks against President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.......
, describing the flag-flying Trump supporters as sending a clear message: "This is my country ... not your country. I own this."

"The reality is here that we have a large percentage of the American population — I don’t know how big it is, but we have tens of millions of Trump voters who continue to believe that their rights as citizens are under threat by simple virtue of having to share the democracy with others," Gay said in response to MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski calling for an investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

"I think that as long as they see Americanness as the same as one with whiteness, this is going to continue," Gay said, turning to race and adding that "Americanness" and "whiteness" needed to be separated.

#8  Mara Gay is welcome to go somewhere where American flags don't fly.

#7  If she doesn't like the American flag she should get the hell out of America.

#6  Glad she was disturbed. A die hard commie should be disturbed and frightened into incontinence by such a sight. Good to hear.

#5  Clearly she hates Alaska and Hawaii because most of America's racist past was back when we had a different flag, one with fewer stars. If I was gov of Hawaii I'd ban this person.

Whatever her mental issues with opposing thought

"This is OUR country .. As an US Citizen I OWN part of it, not DC or China."

#1  This isn't even new ground for a leftist opinionater. Rancid whiner Katha Pollitt wrote after 9/11 about moving to France so her daughter wouldn't grow up seeing American Flags everywhere.
