I found it interesting that the Betsy Ross flag was prominently displayed in The Associated Press Capitol photograph of the Joe Biden/Kamala Harris inauguration on page 11A of the Jan. 21 Review-Journal.

Isn’t this the same flag that the Colin Kaepernick and woke Nike found so offensive that it warranted public apologies and a product cancellation?

Perhaps the new administration’s mantra should be “hypocrisy.” Or do they even know the definition of the word?

I’m waiting to hear the outrage and see the protests.

The objective is to show that Mr. Trump is not a nice person, and with biased judges and juries, the verdicts are already determined.
