witter’s favorite large adult son, Donald Trump Jr., produced one of his most thought-provoking self-owns earlier this month, when he attempted to impugn the patriotism of the Democratic women of Congress. On February 6, Trump tweeted a post–State of the Union photo of a white-clad group of congresswomen huddled around Nancy Pelosi with the superimposed caption “NOT ONE AMERICAN FLAG PIN AMONG THEM.” Ironically, Trump also wrote that the photo “speaks for itself and no one is at all surprised.”
At the top of his replies, above the cracks about the Trump family’s preference for Russian flags or the gallery of Republican politicians wearing flag pins in mugshots, were a pair of photos from that same SOTU. One was of the Trump children. The other was a crowd shot of the Republican side of the speech audience. Not a flag pin in sight in either picture.

End the yellow ribbons... I wasn’t in jail...
I could be misremembering, but I’m pretty sure that the first time I saw a flag pin was on the label of President Ronald Reagan.

They do that all by themselves when they get up every day and try to beat America to death.
Ya can say THAT again!

Richard Nixon was apparently the first president to wear an American flag pin, donning mini-Old Glory during the Vietnam War. Republican congressional candidates started wearing the pin in 1970 as a statement against anti-war protestors, according to a 2008 history of the flag pin published in Time.Jul 28, 2016

“When CWII begins, leftist tools, such as this beta cuck asswipe, will be among the first casualties.”
+1.
See my tag line.

When Tim Kaine wore a Blue Star Service Banner pin in honor of his son, a deployed Marine, GOP bloggers were saying the pin was the flag of Honduras. So it might be possible to understand why some people might be mad about the flag pin thing.
Thanks for that!
Yes, I do.
You have to listen to what the other side says.
Some people signal virtue by not signaling at all.
I wear a flag and a cross pin almost every day.
1) I would not say “stupid”, as if the pins themselves were stupid.
2) But if it means false virtue-signal, yes, it is stupid. We know well Dems couldn’t care less about the US, in truth, but they keep trying to fool everyone by wearing something to try and prove they do.
I was always hoping that when pinning on on, a leftist would spontaneously combust.
I disagree. They will be the ones suddenly wearing flag pins and screaming that they were always on our side.
They will do or say anything to survive.
That is part of their problem. Too many separate single issue constituencies were amalgamated into what is now the Democrat Party. In order to survive they have to cow tow to each and every one of them for fear that they will lose their vote. In many cases the issues conflict and/or are so outrageous that the public mention of them sends gales of laughter and disbelief through what is left of sane people around the world. AOC is a classic "I told you so". Trillions of dollars to eliminate autos, airplanes and cow farts. Yet Dem hopefuls have to sign on or lose the nutty group that they front. To borrow an old baseball coaches saying,"They now have left field so screwed up that nobody can play it".
Another DNC shill in media? How surprising.
