Mitch and the boys should rethink those flag pins.

What’s the point of wearing them? It’s like an avowed non-believer wearing a crucifix or The New England Patriots wearing Miami Dolphins uniforms. Makes no sense.

Mitch should find a lapel decoration that more accurately expresses his belief system. Maybe a one-and-three-quarter-inch novelty pin of a man doing deep-knee bends or a sparkling rhinestone weasel pin. On second thought, make that a rhinestone “W” so he and the boys can keep their motives hidden.

On one of their hands they have gerrymandering and vote suppression, on the other hand they have a pile of flag pins. That’s one twisted scale.

It’s a little unnerving, at first glance you think robotic mannequins....until it’s apparent they’ve been programmed for treachery. The flag pin is just part of their costume. Sort of like the bank robber who enters the bank wearing a Harry’s Window Washing uniform.

Does anyone see a flag pin on Ivanka's outfit at the UN?

Have any patriotic republicans complained?

The fuss because Romney's flag pin was bigger. So of course he loves 'Murika more. Snort

The Rs should just go everywhere with a full size flagpole jammed in their shorts with one of those big ass flags they put over used car lots in the south. Require Mitch to drag a 90 foot flag around without it touching the ground. Maybe he'd shut his pie hole and go to to hell.

if you don't wear one, you are not patriotic. I don't feel the need to flaunt or prove any patriotism I have. If you do, it must be like driving a Hummer to prove your masculinity.
