" His pocket square is a miniature American flag."

Q: Mr. Hegseth, you don't really blow your nose on the American flag, do you?"

Glad to see I'm not alone in thinking that disrespect for and misuse of our flag is pretty damning evidence that someone is the lowest form of summer soldier and sunshine patriot. Don't care how many medals or manly tats you sport. A veteran should definitely know better.

If memory serves correctly, it was Nixon's crowd of miscreants that introduced U.S. flag lapel pins as symbols of faux patriotism, and political/media types have mimicked it ever since. So, Hegseth's pocket square is no surprise. Meanwhile, he and Trump's other henchmen are putting the finishing touches on a fascist takeover only six days away. Republicans *never* fail to embrace hypocrisy.
