Republicans’ claim that Democrats did not mention terrorism or ISIL on the first night of the Democratic National Convention is correct, Politifact said Tuesday morning.
Following Monday night’s speeches, Republicans blasted the Democrats for a lack of focus on terrorism from the 61 speakers.
“Based on our searches of C-SPAN closed-captioning text, Congressional Quarterly transcripts and other video archiving services, we couldn’t find any speaker who mentioned "ISIS," "Islamic" "terror," "terrorist," or "terrorism" during the first day of the convention,” Politifact wrote.
The fact-checking website did add the caveat that the Democrats still have three days to discuss terrorism at the convention and the first day of the convention was not meant to focus on foreign policy. Additionally, Hillary Clinton on Monday called for action against ISIL at a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“We need to lead other countries in stopping ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other radical jihadist groups,” she said. "We shouldn’t leave that to the rest of the world to figure out on their own. That won’t keep us safe."
Has anyone heard an explanation of why there are no American flags on or around the DNC stage?
Never offend your best friends.

Patriotism took a back seat to racial grievances last night at the Democratic National Convention, as no American flags were visibly present at an event dedicated to picking a political leader for the United States of America. Alex Pfeifer of the Daily Caller was among those who noticed:
The Daily Caller is at the Democratic National Convention and it doesn’t look like there are any American flags.
The stage is bland and grey, with no red, white or blue present. A thorough look at the crowd present also turns up no American flags.

But, but, but Michelle was magnificent. And she wore blue.
Maybe it is offensive to someone.
I didn’t watch the Democratic Cluster Puck but am not surprised. Why would communists have an American flag on stage?
Islamic what!?!?
On another note, what was mentioned was that TRUMP SUUUUUUUUUCKS.
Why would democrats have an American flag in the first place?
Their whole dog and pony show can go to hell...
American flags are triggering...or something.
No worries. They will mention terrorism from “right wing extremists” or “Christian extremists” several times before they are done. Just not the extremists who are the real threat.
American flags are triggering...or something.
You are right. They trigger that pesky patriotism!
Good point! They can talk about “Christian extremism” all day long...
BLM could be heard over most speeches...a George Soros funded anti-American group...one of the faces of the Progressive Party of the USA...Hillary's base.
No American flags allowed as they do not want to offend anyone. Of course that is the way liberals think.
Making the terrible parents of black thugs heroes, is one of the worse in your face stances by the rats.

Considering the people I know that are voting for Hillary, they HATE America and HATE our flag.
