Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell posted this on Twitter, which I thought was nice. Especially after all the ignoramuses out there, unfamiliar with history, decided that the Betsy Ross flag was somehow a racist symbol.
Why should I be surprised? Anything and everything can now be assumed to be racist. It’s getting tiresome, and accomplishes nothing, nothing at all.

Much has been made of Kamala Harris’s attack on Joe Biden in the Democrat Debates. Biden slipped way down in the polls, and Harris’s carefully rehearsed attack advanced her standing.
In her blast at Joe Biden, she claimed that:
Two decades after Brown v. Board, I was only the second class to integrate at Berkeley public schools. Without that decision, I likely would not have become a lawyer and eventually be elected a Senator from California.
That’s the power a Supreme Court Justice holds.
In political jargon, that’s called “playing the race card”, but personal experience makes it even more important. The Gateway Pundit clears the air a little, explaining that Kamala’s parents were successful professionals. Kamala went to school in Berkeley for only 2 years. She moved with her mother to Canada at age 7, where she completed grade school and high school.
Then a little checking confirms that classrooms in the Berkeley public schools were integrated in 1963— a year before Kamala was born. Ooops!
Getting caught in downright lies to the American people is not usually helpful in a race for the presidency. You don’t get a pass just because it’s a debate.
