‘View’ Libs Cheer, Defend NYT Writer Calling American Flag Racist, Triggering

On Wednesday, ABC’s The View played its part in the damage control operation to defend New York Times editorial board writer Mara Gay after she explained how she was “disturb[ed]” and frightened by the sight of American flags as a racist, a sign of white supremacy, and way of identifying Americans who support Donald Trump (and thus the kind of people that are supposed to be avoided).
The View’s voice-over announcer set the tone with a tease warning of “[t]he backlash over claims that the stars and stripes have been politicized into a symbol of power and intimidation for white Americans.”
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg opened the debate by describing Gay’s experience on Long Island over Memorial Day weekend as having “put things into a scary perspective for her” and proof that the flag has come to mean something other than “freedom.”

I would suggest if Gay is disturbed by the flag, etc, perhaps she should find a country she can live without being disturbed.
I listened to her, and my assessment was she was a Class A idiot. But what can one expect with resources at the NYT, which has become a trash rag, worse than the tabloids at the super market.
