Oops, Democrats Forgot To Be Outraged at the Betsy Ross Flag Before Kaepernick Told Them To Be By Matt Margolis

On Wednesday, 2020 Democrat candidate Beto O’Rourke claimed that the 1776 Betsy Ross flag was a symbol of white nationalism, when he announced his support for Nike for pulling a sneaker with the flag design on it because Colin Kaepernick got his panties in a twist over the sneaker that was to be released on July 4th.
Not to be out-triggered, fellow 2020 candidate Julián Castro also weighed in on the controversy, comparing the 1776 Betsy Ross flag to “painful” Confederate symbols.It seems as though 2020 Democrats are getting their instructions on what to be outraged over by Colin Kaepernick, because getting triggered by the 1776 Betsy Ross flag wasn’t really a thing until the protesting football player decided it was offensive. Tim Murtaugh, the Director of Communications for the Trump reelection campaign, noted on Wednesday that the apparently offensive flag was prominently featured during the second inauguration of Barack Obama.
Did Obama not get the memo that the flag was offensive, or is the outrage over the flag completely manufactured by a football player trying to remain relevant? It must be the latter because Beto O’Rourke attended Obama’s second inuguartion and managed to not be triggered by the flags on display.
