It’s not very often you hear this kind of blanket honesty from a journalist about how even the simple image of an American flag triggers them.

On Morning Joe Tuesday, frequent guest Mara Gay from the New York Times admitted she was shocked at seeing dozens of “disturbing” American flags over the D-Day anniversary weekend. But what was really disturbing, was Gay likening our country's flag to racist, white nationalism.

Gay’s looney comments were spurred on by the panel talking about- what else? The need for a January 6 commission on the Capitol Hill riot.

......"another loser liberal trying to say the most outrageous things to get on TV".......

It's getting so ridiculous the idiot opinions that the leftist media is giving airtime to...At the very least you'd think they would air better minds of the black and other colored communities....but of course the better minds support conservatives so idiots is all they have!

If she hates America so much maybe she needs to contemplate whether her life is better here, or in a straw hut in her homeland. Inquiring minds want to know.

She should drop to her knees every single day and thank GOD that she was blessed to have been born here (if she was).

Just a little shy of three months later, the liberation of Paris. The Parisians didn't seem to mind the flag.

Marla Gay's bio from the NYT:

Mara Gay is a member of the New York Times editorial board, focusing on New York State and local affairs. Before coming to The Times in 2018, she was a City Hall reporter at The Wall Street Journal, covering Mayors Bill de Blasio and Michael Bloomberg, and dozens of other stories that have shaped the nation’s largest, most dynamic city. Ms. Gay has also worked for the New York Daily News, The Atlantic and The Daily, an all-digital newspaper owned by News Corp. She has a degree in political science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is a New York City native and lives in Brooklyn.

She has had such a tough life in this racist, white nationalist country. Makes me want to cry. (Sniff!)

Exactly right - she was sad to remember that the fascists got their butts kicked.

There’s a pic of her on another thread with a sleek hair style — culturally appropriating, dontcha know?

[Troublemaker]

I am sure everything disturbs her...so, why bother...

I think I figured her out. Menopause.

” Mara Gay from the New York Times admitted she was shocked at seeing dozens of “disturbing” American flags over the D-Day anniversary weekend.”

It’s called patriotism and love of country you stupid twit. Why don’t you just go back to the Democrats plantation and ask them to show you that same pleasantries they showed your forbearers when they owned slaves, initiated Jim Crow, initiated the KKK and practiced segregation in the South.

[TigersEye]

People like this make flying Old Glory even better. God bless America!

[BenLurkin]

What an appalling goon this woman is!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

When the civil war she wants so badly goes hot she needs to be at the top of somebody’s list.

[I want the USA back]

She is paid by Whitey but hates Whitey.

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

Escort her to the border, run her passport through a shredder, and give her a push over the line. Banned forever from coming back to the US.

[CaptainK]

She may have seen a lot of American flags flying on Long Island.
She may have seen a few Trump flags too.
She saw ZERO bumper stickers with Biden expletives.

[Aut Pax Aut Bellum]

They (Far Left) want all Trump people rounded up and put away. All others can sit at the table and capitulate to the Lefties. After all, they are in pursuit of a communist utopia and we are just too stupid to see it is is the answer to all the problems.

[Robert DeLong]

No one is holding her here. I think she should have left yesterday, and I suggest she do so. No sense in living in a country you hate Mara Gay.

[ealgeone]

Further confirmation all this business of removing statues, offending things, etc, is really about doing away with the US flag.

Waiting on the argument to be advanced it too is a symbol of oppression.

[Chewbarkah]

US Flag: Symbolizes our country, and the courage to defend it and what it traditionally stands for. “Our” includes Americans of every race and category, including immigrant citizens.

US Capitol building: Symbolizes government. Currently that equates to cowardice, dishonesty, corruption, opposition to the Constitution. Opposed to the People, who aren’t even allowed inside. It was not ever thus.

Mara Gay’s choice of symbols = hates freedom, hates the Constitution, loves Big Government.

Put her in a box, poke a few holes in it, and mail to some paradise somewhere. I hear Sierra Leone is nice this time of year.
