‘JUST DISTURBING’ NYT Writer Says She Was Triggered By American Flags in New York
Todd Starnes ^ | 6/9/21

There’s no doubt that the drive-by media considers Trump supporters to be a bunch of gun-toting, Bible-clinging, flag-waving deplorables. They despise us. They despise our God. They despise American greatness.

The media propagandists are the disciples of former President Barack Hussein Obama, the man who promised to fundamentally transform America.

So it’s not much of a surprise that MSNBC contributor Mara Gay announced on national television that she was offended and triggered by the presence of an American flag.

Ms. Gay, who is also a member of the editorial board of The New York Times, said she was “disturbed” to see “dozens of American flags flown by supporters of President Trump during a weekend trip to Long Island, New York.

She also said she saw pickup trucks adorned with profane message about President Joe Biden and accused Trump supporters of using Old Glory to send a message to people like her: “This is my country … not your country. I own this.

“The reality is here that we have a large percentage of the American population — I don’t know how big it is, but we have tens of millions of Trump voters who continue to believe that their rights as citizens are under threat by simple virtue of having to share the democracy with others,” Gay said. “I think that as long as they see Americanness as the same as one with Whiteness, this is going to continue.”

I do not personally know Ms. Gay so it’s unfair for me to call her a racist or a supremacist. However, she clearly holds bigoted viewpoints. Consider how she described folks on Long Island.

“I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a really dear friend, and I was really disturbed. I saw, you know, dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with explicatives [sic] against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and in some cases just dozens of American flags, which is also just disturbing … Essentially the message was clear. This is my country. This is not your country. I own this,” Gay said.

I say better to be a flag-waving deplorable who wants to make America great than a godless socialist bigot who wants to turn our nation into a third-world hell hole.

“.. Essentially the message was clear. This is my country. This is not your country. I own this,” Gay said.”

Well honey, you have your gay banners, black lives banners, trans banners, and whatever the trendy cause of the month banners which essentially say “This is my country. This is not your country. I own this”.

[explicatives]

So, she’s a writer, eh?

They’ll all be happy only when it’s the flag of the United Nations and they’ve all taken their 666 pledge of allegiance to the Antichrist on their right hand or their forehead.

More than one American flag was used as a bandage for a wounded soldier over our many wars.

This woman is either a fool or just plain damn evil I think she is both.

Gay is known for her memorable mistake on MSNBC last year when she believed billionaire Michael Bloomberg could have provided $1 million to every American with the $500 million he spent on his failed presidential campaign. The actual amount was less than $2 per person.

She doesn’t know you either but has already concluded that you’re a white supremacist racist.

""We have a large percentage of the American population — I don’t know how big it is, but we have tens of millions of Trump voters who continue to believe that their rights as citizens are under threat""

That comes to about 80 million Ms. Gay. You best not forget it.

A couple of things about this woman...

Dave Rubin just did a report on this video, he played a past video of this woman talking to Brian Williams, where she was complaining that Michael Bloomberg had spent 500 million running for POTUS and said since they’re 350 million people in American, Bloomberg could have given everyone in American 1 million dollars and still had money left over....

the point being, she’s not a mensa candidate...

Remember June 6, 2021 was last Sunday and the 77th anniversary of D-day and one week after Memorial Day which is one reason a lot of American Flags were flying...

Yeah. She said $1 million. It actually was a little over one dollar.

Not only did she say it but Brian Williams and no producer at MSNBC caught the error and they all went along with it

We must adhere to a murky and dystopian vision of society to please this person. We must abandon any association whith what she, in her cartoon imagination, sees as her rivals and enemies. Those would be anyone that expresses “patriotism” that does not fit her prejudices and ignorance. I ask, “who died and made her God?”

Hers is the totalitarian mindset of an ill educated juvenile. This person should either grow up, and join the rest of us, or leave, and leave us alone. She has no authority, moral or intellectual, to tell her fellow citizens what to believe, what to think, and what to do. I guess there is a waiting line to get into Hell. And perhaps she is “Next.”

Maybe she should get a flag of a nation she is comfortable with and GTFO of the USA.

Well, yes, more or less.

If you are disturbed by affectionate public displays of our flag, then, however long you have been here, or even if you were born here - you are just a visitor.
