Mark Salvas, the former executive director of the Allegheny County Democratic Party, told Pittsburgh's KDKA News that the county party chair asked him to resign after just weeks on the job.
Salvas, a former Marine and Gulf War veteran, told KDKA that his forced departure was prompted by two social media posts, including one photo of him and his wife with the words: "I stand for the flag, I kneel at the cross."
Rep. Ed Gainey (D-Penn.) told KDKA that the posts were "insensitive" and offensive to many Democrats in the state.
"To put that up on Facebook was, to me, insensitive, also to African Americans, who, as you know, have backed the Democratic Party for quite a long time, and everybody knows that it was insensitive," Gainey said.

If you can't respect the flag, then you might as well just admit outright that your party is attempting to takeover the country in a coup and imposing an ideology that looks more like North Korea than America.
