Thousands of US flags have been placed at the National Mall in honor of the nearly 200,000 Americans who were not able to be present for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

The display, which is called the 'Field of Flags,' is comprised of 191,500 US flags and 56 pillars of light. Images taken on Monday showed the flags carefully placed in rows near the US Capitol.

The flags are representative of the Americans who cannot travel to Washington, DC, to attend the inauguration in person due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It strikes me as being really pathetic.

They didn’t want the optics of an empty field.

So how much did this cost? Where were the flags made? This is getting downright silly.

Remember the fake pictures of nobody at Trump’s inauguration? It’s all ok for that now.

No big deal, but that armband looks photoshopped.

What a joke. He would have had a tiny fraction of that number in attendance, and those would be staffers and media...

I think you’re correct.
Some leftist had to make the point that Hitler was a Nazi

Can I have my father’s (who died of COVID) flag removed from this display? He would have hated the thought of this and to have his death exploited by Biden.

I wonder if the Biden Inaugural Committee paid the workers $15.00 an hour to put those flags up or if tax payers paid government WG workers to do it?

who said two hundred thousand people would have gone to see Commie Joe take the Oath to destroy the United States.

I don’t think he could fill a phone booth if we still had phone booths.

Nice. Dems consider us as objects.

Someone please make sure those flags are made in china. I wouldn’t want an American flag to be desecrated this way.

Biden Voters, they don’t really exist or represent anyone. They are fake. Manufactured.

Don’t question the emperor’s new clothes.

Were these flags Made In China?

Anything to improve the optics. Wonderif they’ll throw them in the trash like after their other rallies.

What are the tents for? To trick viewers into thinking this is a festive event with people and vendors to feed them?

They had to put flags there because they wouldn’t be able to get that many people there.

So that’s why they brought in the National Guard, to place the flags because no one is going to the inauguration on the 20th

The communists and the nazis hated each other because they competed to recruit from the same pool of disgruntled, self-serving people.
