Pro-illegal alien riot organizers just learned that waving Mexican flags in America was bad for optics. Well, duh! So was burning cars, looting businesses, attacking federal agents, and all the rest. But, they now think all that destruction and evil will be more palatable if they wrap it in the American flag. To this end, organizers were seen handing out brand new American flags to wave while shouting obscenities at LAPD and throwing Molotov cocktails. See, much better!
Aldo (@AldoButtazzoni) ~ BREAKING: Organizers of LA Protests are now assembling and handing out American flags to protesters.
This comes after days of footage showing them waving Mexican flags while torching cars, attacking police and burning U.S. flags.
It’s clear they realized the current optics were a disaster—now they’re intentionally using American Flags in an attempt to rebrand and reshape the existing media narrative of the riots.

Aldo (@AldoButtazzoni) ~ EVERY American Flag I’ve seen still has creases. The protesters I’ve spoken to have also confirmed they are “just being handed out to them.”
Amazed it didn’t burn their hands.
Yeah, like sunlight to a vampire.
The newly unfolded flags were noticed on Monday, but commenters say it’s a bit too late for an image rebrand.
Tayler Hansen (@TaylerUSA) ~ Protesters seen in LA flying American Flags today ... this is 100% an organized effort and response to change the overwhelmingly negative reactions the public is having about these demonstrations. I’ve covered Riots for over 5 years — this is EXACTLY how these organizers think.
Monakll (@monnakll) ~ Optics! They were told to switch to a different optic. Look more patriotic. They're clowns.
kskingsford (@momma_kimk) ~ Good luck rebranding at this point. Everyone has already seen for days the images of them burning American flags and the iconic pictures of the immigrants waving Mexican flags in front of burning vehicles. The images have already been seen by millions. Too late.
MissBeck71 (@MissBeck12) ~ It's too late ...

Bill Speros (@billsperos) ~ You mean this didn't win hearts and minds?

Hugh Johnson (@NoTurdsHere) ~ Yea, that will work. They went from burning American flags, yesterday, to waving them today. 🤣
Boinas Rojas - Red Berets ( @Torquat28352878 ) ~ It's only a matter of time before these fools start burning the flags. They can't help themselves.
The Internet is forever, and photos and videos of pro-illegal alien rioters burning cars and waving the Mexican flag are everywhere. No one is going to believe these fools went from spitting on the American flag to loving it in one day.

The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
