Democrats Call For Flags To Be Flown At Half-Mast To Grieve Death Of Soleiman
2020-01-03
Is it live or is it Memorex?
[BabylonBee] WASHINGTON, D.C.‐At a press conference held on Capitol Hill Friday, mourning Democrat leaders called for flags to be flown half-mast to honor the death of Qasem Soleimani.

Flags were spotted flying at half-mast around the country, notably at The Washington Post, The New York Times, and in front of several celebrities' homes. The celebrities went out and bought an American flag for the first time just to fly it at half-mast for this important time of grief.

"The grieving process is painful but necessary," said Rep. Ilhan Omar. "As a nation, we need to stop and grieve this great, austere, revered religious scholar. He was one of the good ones."

#2  Too easy. "Austere" PLUS "revered" was the giveaway. Over the top.
