[SATIRE]
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."
In a rare moment of unity with The Squad, Pelosi gave each of the girls a hug, telling them to just "let it all out" in their time of sadness.
Ocasio-Cortez didn't seem to know what was happening but adjusted her glasses to look smart.
A teary-eyed Barack Obama was also seen solemnly lowering the flag in front of his seaside mansion. "To think, this all could have been prevented with a few pallets of cash." He sighed and stared off into the distance, a look of pain and regret on his face. "If only Trump had targeted a U.S. citizen with a drone strike instead."
Later, Democrats clarified they meant we should fly the Iranian flag at half-mast, not the "offensive and problematic" American flag.

(misspelling intended ;-)
bttt
omar’s flying her flag lower while riding her brother’s half mast...
That’s satire? Who knew.
;)
Wouldn’t be shocked.
Better if you’d said Dems called for their Iranian Flags flown at Half-Mast.
Nice!
Nice!
They are also calling for the (Dem) House to impeach Trump AGAIN this time for not getting congress permission for this operation ahead of time.
Pelosi wants answers NOW!
Also, ALL out war breaks out at 5 !
Head for the bunkers.
My wife, a former liberal, came home from shopping and listening to the car radio. Her first words: “the democrats are nuts!” I agree. How do they think defending “an Iranian government official” responsible for the deaths of 100s of Americans is going to play in nearly all of the US?
Best as I can tell the entire platform of the Democrat Party for last three years can be summed up as, “Orange Man Bad!”
That’s it.
They don’t have anything else.
I see what you did there. And ewwww....
Pelosi can go fornicate herself.
In his case it was a Rainbow Fag. Er, I mean 'Flag.'
Hey, Semmens, you got some serious competition.
DANG!
Sad day when they lose one of their own. In a race to see who hates America more Dims win over “Death to America” Iran.
This article did neglect to mention one key player... Valerie Jarrett. She was born in Iran after all.
'Hard as nails' Pelosi means business.
And Pelosi demanded that the Trump administration come in to Congress to explain. “The full Congress must be immediately briefed on this serious situation and on the next steps under consideration by the Administration, including the significant escalation of the deployment of additional troops to the region,” she said.
