Republicans pounce after Netanyahu protesters ***** US flags — and wave ****** ones instead

Republicans seized immediately on images of burning U.S. flags and vandalism at Washington, D.C.’s Union Station following Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech as evidence of widespread antisemitism and a harbinger of what can happen under Democratic control of government.

The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that “no flags under our protection have been removed or vandalized” though non-Capitol Police officers were seen making mass arrests near Union Station after the speech.

Other GOP lawmakers tried to tie the protests and vandalism — without evidence — to Vice President Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic nominee for president.

“The people Kamala Harris is courting ***** the ********* Flag,” wrote Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.). “Shame on them.”

However, it wasn’t just Republicans criticizing the protesters.

“I never imagined seeing the flag of a ******* group holding eight Americans ******** for 292 days waved in the streets of our nation’s Capitol,” Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) wrote alongside an image of a protester waving the ****** flag.
