NBC News contributor Frank Figliuzzi said Tuesday that President Trump’s decision to fly American flags half-staff until Aug. 8-- in response to the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings-- could be seen by white supremacists as a nod to Adolf Hitler.
Figliuzzi, a former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence, made the claim during an MSNBC broadcast with Brian Williams. Trump issued the order on Sunday “as a mark of solemn respect” for the victims of the shootings.
“The president’s either getting really good advice and rejecting it, or he’s getting really bad advice," he said. "We have to understand the adversary and the threat we’re dealing with, and if we don’t understand how they think we’ll never understand how to counter them, so it’s the little things and the language and messaging that matters.

Dems insane? That ship sailed decades ago for the Dems. Talking about that could have come from the History Channel.
This loons message is for the Left wing zealots and you have to ask yourself this. How very dumb does he believe the constituency of the left is that he would make statements such as this one?
I still don’t get it. That is really obscure. Who would even notice?
Bat. Sh!t. Crazy.
Right up there with Don Lemon and the black hole theory of aviation accidents.
There are neo-Nazi groups that also like the combo ‘18’ - 1 stands for letter ‘A’ - and so 18 stands for Adolf Hitler. Thus you have groups like “Combat18”. The leftists love this stuff because they buy into the conspiracy stuff, as much as they denounce it as a right wing thing.
Insanity, they name is democrat.
So the El Paso shooter was mostly German ? Have not heard a breakdown of his ethnicity.
Where does the media dig up these jerks?
Frank Figliuzzi. That name is a honorific to Adolph Hitler.
If you count the space, there are 16 characters in the name
“Frank Figliuzzi”.
8 + 8 = 16.
88.
Because the letter ‘H’ is the eighth letter of the alphabet, and to Frank Figliuzzi , the numbers 8/8 stand for ‘Heil Hitler.’
Also, the numbers 88 stand for the Nazi 88mm Flak gun so successful during WWII.
If you say the name Frank Figliuzzi, you have just said Heil Hitler.
Leftists like this person are either insane or the biggest demagogues in American history. They don’t even pretend to have any connection with reality anymore.
re: “... could be seen by white supremacists as a nod to Adolf Hitler.”
Where THEIR minds are.
This is Goebbels-level bad. Many societies, unfortunately, have had full-blown propagandists controlling their media. Fortunately, the oppressors usually get overthrown eventually by freedom-loving people.
These people are deranged WTF!!!!
Had he not said something, I doubt you could find a handful of people that had any idea this might be a ‘thing’... heck, I’d bet you could find more Beto supporters than 8/8 people (maybe 1 vs. none?).
Now that the cat is out of the bag, I want to wish everyone a Happy Hitler Day tomorrow. (Happy Hitler is 88 too. How about that?) Let’s sing “88 Bottles of Beer” and have a putsch. As Curly Howard said, “that’s when you putcher beer down and grab a pretzle.”
Them FBI fellers is smart. You’ve got to get up pretty early in the morning to put one over on them.
Must have used a secret decoder ring to come up with that.
Thank you for the information.
It is to my understanding the flag is to be raised full staff, then lowered to half staff, and at dusk, is to again be raised to full staff before being lowered and stored.
The flag can remain at half staff at night if it is illuminated and isn’t supposed to be flown in bad or inclimate weather. When a flag is begining to become frayed or in disrepair it’s supposed to be desposed of in an honorable fashion.
There is a method in which it is to be destroyed, however, I don’t remember what it was. I do know there are groups that hold flag burning ceremonies the destroy them in the proper fashion.
