Politico Article About Democrats and the American Flag is a PERFECT Example of How the Media Carries Water for the Left

June 14, 2025

If you have been watching the news for the last week, you have seen tons of footage of leftists flying foreign flags, mostly in Los Angeles and mostly the flag of Mexico.

The only time you saw an American flag is when someone was spitting on it or lighting it on fire.

Democrats know how bad this looks and someone even got into the ears of the rioters and urged them to start passing out American flags to wave.

The liberal outlet Politico has tried to come to the rescue with a new article about how Democrats have ‘reclaimed’ the American flag:

From the article:

Democrats’ newest approach to win back voters is a fresh embrace of the nation’s oldest symbol.

Two days ahead of Flag Day, when President Donald Trump’s military parade will run through the streets of Washington, Democratic Reps. Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) fanned out Thursday afternoon to give a gift to their colleagues to unite them.

It was a 4-inch-by-6-inch American flag, which they passed out at almost the exact moment, unbeknownst to them, that Sen. Alex Padilla was getting forcibly removed and handcuffed at a Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles — an act House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries would later call “unpatriotic.”…

“Patriotism does not belong to one party,” the letter read. “The flag, and the values it stands for, belong to every single American.”

Now, as bad as this already is, it gets worse.

The entire theme of this article traces back to another Politico article from April, in which a Democrat suggested that her party needs to retake the American flag.

Look at this article (emphasis is ours):

Elissa Slotkin, the former CIA analyst turned battleground senator, will on Thursday start road-testing what she calls a “war plan” to “contain and defeat Donald Trump.”

In the first of a series of speeches about the Democratic Party’s path out of the wilderness, the Michigan senator said she will span everything from strategy to tactics and tone, acknowledging public perception of the party as “weak and woke” needs to change. She is urging Democrats to “fucking retake the flag” with appeals to voters’ sense of patriotism, to adopt “the goddamn Alpha energy” of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell and to embrace an “airing out” of potential 2028 presidential candidates in a broadly contested primary.

So, a Democrat lays out a plan for her party and two months later, Politico declares that Democrats have accomplished said political goal.

If you think that’s a coincidence, there’s a certain bridge in Brooklyn you might want to buy.

Politico is trying to save the Democrats from themselves because of images like this:

What the media does for Democrats goes beyond bias. They are pure party propagandists.
