As usual, Fredo gets it wrong

CNN host Chris Cuomo wrapped up the first hour of Prime Time by emphatically ranting about President Trump not ordering American flags be flown at half-staff to honor the five journalists killed during the Capital Gazette shooting. According to his speculation, it was because of Trump’s “insensitivity to the dead” and his hatred for the press.
“It's been four days since the most recent mass shooting that robbed this world of five lives, shattered families, and added another layer of shame on all lawmakers for not doing something to stop the damn shootings,” Cuomo began the segment. “So why did this happen? Is there a protocol that would make it weird to respect the dead journalists?”
Cuomo then proceeded to rattle off other instances where Trump had ordered flags lowered such as the Las Vegas and Parkland shootings. To make the point about the number of victims not being an issue, he cited the lowering of flags for former First Lady Barbara Bush and Reverend Billy Graham.
“So, why would the mayor of Annapolis say he was turned down with such a no-brainer request,” he rhetorically asked himself. “Now, I'm afraid I know the answer and it's because President Trump doesn't like the media.”

Lowering the flag for every mass shooting is ridiculous. This is escpecially true if it happens in a state or location where the people cannot defend themselves properly.
Yeah... and??
In Washington state, they lowered fkags for a D.O.T. worker when a tree fell on him...
This is fake news. See post 9. The president DID order flags lowered. I have seen them at half-mast while out and about today.
Fake News....

I saw post 9. I’m saying that we shouldn’t lower the flag for crimes.
“Cuomo Suggests Trump Refused to Lower Flags Because He Hates the Press”
Okay, and....?
Well, yes, Washington state did lower the flag when that worker was killed by a falling tree.
They had to.
(The tree had just died!)
When have the Left not taken everything to the extreme? When have they not bullied everyone into following their PC madness. NEVER!
As usual, Fredo gets it wrong
I shouldn’t say this but it would be good to have a libtard filter in FR so we didn’t have to read what some jackass like Cuomo said about anything. It is a shame for those folks....horrible.
The left barks about prayers and lowered flag not being enough of a response to violence. ok, then shut up when the flags stay up.
Where is the story about how one more time, the government could not protect citizens from known whack jobs??
The city of Annapolis communications manager just called a Baltimore talk radio host and said there was no White House delay.
She didn’t say it but the rat congressman lied
I hear ya, but by the same token it’s important to know what the Insane Leftists are saying.
Fredo is the clock that is right twice a day. One of those days is using the right key to open his office door.
Cuomo Suggests Trump Refused to Lower Flags Because He Hates the Press

...and that’s bad because why?
The people at this newspaper had been threatened by the killer for six years. Some even expected violence from him, yet no one did a thing to improve security. One wonders why.
If Trump hates the Press then that makes two of us. During the Obama years they lower the flag excessively then again his entire presidency was a state of morning for this nation
You lower the flags for military, police, and other people who love their country. For journalists, you use their newspapers for dog training.
Go to hell, cuomo. Dead journalists = dead worms.
CNN’s rating are in the toilet and they keep pulling this crap. Talk about digging your way out of a hole... Stupid.
No where in the flag code does it say to lower it for journalists. POTUS does have the option but isn’t required to do so.
I chipped a nail, whaaa, lower the flag!
