In the midst of four tumultuous days of rioting in Los Angeles, one striking observation emerges: the conspicuous absence of the American flag. Instead, the scene has been dominated by the flags of Mexico, Palestine, and even the emblem of Communism.
It appears that someone has whispered a reality check into the ears of the rioters, for reports have surfaced indicating that organizers are now distributing American flags to those involved in the protests. This move aims to shift the narrative and improve their public image.
However, this late attempt at optics is unlikely to succeed. The sight of foreign flags has already saturated the media landscape for days on end.
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… pic.twitter.com/3iMPfSm4mj

Do they genuinely believe this strategy will alter public perception? It’s hard to see how it could.
Protesting the American government trying to deport you to Mexico by…saving the Mexican flag?

I’m starting to think Stephen Miller came up with this “wave Mexican flags in front of massive street arson” campaign. https://t.co/51PlGkLuAM pic.twitter.com/sOx5YaImWj

People that support this also think it’s rude to wear American flag T-shirts when visiting Mexico. pic.twitter.com/j5MoTo0wLg

Honest question, would any other country in the world let an illegal immigrant light cars on fire in their cities while waving the flag of another country? pic.twitter.com/1xTQboW9BS

Even the usually liberal New York Times has acknowledged that the Mexican flag has become a symbol of the ongoing riots.
PRIDE: The New York Times is celebrating the insurrectionists waving Mexican flags as they destroy their communities, burn cars and buildings, block freeways, while attacking federal, state, and local employees – the fact is the flag is quickly becoming a symbol of hate. pic.twitter.com/5ziUxmHaAx

We have all witnessed their treatment of the American flag.
They’re anti-America. That’s what spitting on and burning our flag means. pic.twitter.com/WnKT6pLax3

The damage to their image has already been done. The introduction of American flags into the fray now will not erase the impressions formed by their actions. They have unequivocally revealed their stance.
