The people most outraged about this tend to be the ones least upset about an insurrection in which our flag was used as a literal weapon against law enforcement officers. Some of us aren't buying into the manufactured outrage.
There are other ways she could have done so without, in my opinion anyway, disrespecting the flag of our country. Again, just my opinion for whatever it's worth.
not much, and for anyone else that can't grasp the basic principles behind the 1st amendment. this particular ideological battle was fought and lost by conservatives over 50 years ago. give it up.

I said it once about this photo but I will say it again...this is blasphemy. The flag is not to be used for such purposes. It degrades and disrespects the values that the flag stands for
Excellent video. The only thing he said is wrong is when he tells the critics "you don't get to...." criticize her because that is hypocrisy. Not only do the critics get to attack her, millions of people agree with them.
At least now there will always be video of "patriots" using the American flag to physically assault and beat police officers on the steps of and inside the national legislature. Hard for them to rationalize that one.
right wing trash are utilizing every opportunity they have to deflect attention away from their criminal icon, his supporters coup attempt that he instigated, any official investigation of the coup attempt, and their ongoing red state voter suppression efforts. the GOP has now surpassed the animated comedy Team America as a parody of american patriotism.
NFL players peacefully kneeling during the Anthem are called ''Sons of bitches'' by Trump, but insurrectionists using the flag to beat LEO's are good people.
There was a study done in the state of Washington where NA's were getting tickets at a much higher rate than others. The LEO's finally admitted that they targeted NA when they left the rez.

Yup, faux outrage yet again over an African American protesting racism.

She did not disrespect the 'flag of our country'

It's worthless
You have your opinion, I have mine.
"give it up."
Why, because you do not agree with what I said and because it does not match your particular beliefs? Not going to happen. Have a good day.
That's your right. You also have the right to believe the Earth is flat.
"Have the right" does not mean is right.
I don't believe I said otherwise.
My apologies Bob. I was in a hurry and misread your comment. What I meant was that opinions are just opinions and not necessarily right or wrong.
That depends on the topic. If someone is of the opinion that 1 + 1 equals 3... that opinion is just plain wrong.
Some people confound opinions and facts.
And some people do it on purpose.
Agreed.
I'm not sure sure the athletes agree.
They want to be recognized as "the best in the world".
Exactly..
Beau is pretty incisive. He puts up a video just about every day, and they're all worth their few minutes.
He's spot on, here. The complainers are hypocrites.
Of course... they aren't just hypocrites about the flag. They're hypocrites about everything.
When I was a kid, my parents taught me that defacing the flag was an insult to the nation:
What are we to understand here? That the flag is nothing more than a support for advertising?
I said it once about this photo but I will say it again...this is blasphemy. The flag is not to be used for such purposes. It degrades and disrespects the values that the flag stands for
But, but, but... right-wingers love the flag!
They love it so much that they make it even more magnificent by putting the image of their Glorious Leader on it...

Just because you can say "But Mom, he did it" doesn't give you the right to do it also and say it's right.
No, what gives her the right is the Constitution. It protects even unpopular speech.

Something that the so-called flag-waving patriots have forgotten. They don't care about your First Amendment rights, only theirs
Beau wasn't takling about legal rights. When he says, "You've lost the right.. ", he means "You've lost any moral right...".
Hypocrisy disqualifies the speaker.
NFL players peacefully kneeling during the Anthem are called ''Sons of bitches'' by Trump, but insurrectionists using the flag to beat LEO's are good people.
Talk about a fucking hypocritical moron.
"Talk about a fucking hypocritical moron."
And all those who support him
Trump is too stupid to be a hypocrite.
systemic...according to some on the right, that does not exist.
If it exists, you ought to be able to provide evidence of it.
But you can't
If Black people are pulled over by cops at a higher rate than white people, what would you call that?
There was a study done in the state of Washington where NA's were getting tickets at a much higher rate than others. The LEO's finally admitted that they targeted NA when they left the rez.
Those are facts, Greg.
I'm sure it doesn't seem that way to some really old tea party dipshits that are just hoping to still be around in 2024.
