The woman speaking, (about patriotism, ironically, she says it is declining as she epitomizes exactly that...) and the man behind her are wearing US Flag jackets.
Another man behind them has a US Flag bandana on his head.
These are disgraceful violations of the US Flag Code.

"§176. Respect for flag:
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
(b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, ...

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume ...

Trump fans walking by are using American flags draped over their shoulders as a shawl.
It is very disturbing to see Trump fans disrespecting the American Flag and violating US Flag Code.
They have no right to wrap themselves up in the flag. They do not own it. The flag does not represent their party. They have no more claim over the flag than any other American.
Such ignorance. They should learn how to properly respect the flag and do so. Instead they cheapen it.
