Why draw additional attention to this kid? Seems like it can only create problems for her.

I can’t imagine why one would think she’s a grown woman. For reference, plaid shirt guy is 17. She seeens to be in that awkward young teen phase.

...while the traitor dude's giving his MAGA speech, she's wiping her snot on the American flag behind him.

If ever there was a metaphor for this presidency... her real embarrassment was standing behind him in the first place. That was going to be hard enough to live down.

Someone who, say, burns a flag in protest is STILL paying homage to its symbolic importance and power. In other words, treating a flag with deliberate contempt for the purpose of making a statement is, itself, an act of intentionally disrespecting a symbol of importance to demonstrate the magnitude of one’s grievance - whatever it may be.

What flag snot girl, and her ilk are doing is, in one way of looking at it, much lower than that. By treating the flag with such casual unthinking disrespect, they are demonstrating that it is not a symbol of any importance or consequence at all.

...if she's not fake like the others. I mean, she doesn't look thrilled to be there and she's not wearing a MAGA hat.

The deadpan looks on plaid shirt guy's friends' faces are hilarious. Definitely making fun of Trumpies.

Apparently he* and his russian cronies think it's OK to us the American Flag as a snot rag if you are a republican. Disgusting.

It makes a nice reply to the comments about football players allegedly disrespecting the flag when they take a knee.

behind Trump she seemed not able to remain still or to concentrate on where she was. Perhaps some adhd or developmental difficulties? Let's leave her alone folks.

Still, I've known better than to wipe my nose on anybody's flag since I was a wee lad.

Maybe she don't. And that's about the only reason I'd cut her any slack.

it looks like a scarf, a flag scarf. that said, it's still pretty nasty to wipe your nose on teevee, but she seems quite young.
