However, PRIOR presidents have issued a proclamation to fly the flag at half staff at the capitol until date of internment for the death of sitting Senators, thus setting up a protocol that has been followed since Eisenhower. Trump did not follow prior protocol, but simply the exact (to the minute) requirement. He only opted to follow established protocol when pressured to do so. That is not fake news, that is fact. And it was disrespectful IMO, regardless of what party someone might belong to. Personally, I found it offensive as an Arizonan.
Where was your (fake) outrage over the Failing NYT calling McCain a racist in his 2008 presidential campaign? You should be mostly offended by your own fakeness, if anything. The same is true for the whole liberal hypocrite fake McCain admiration, as long as he can be used against the President, and otherwise be thrown under the bus (like they did before, not only in 2008) as soon as he's no longer useful for this purpose. I'd be ashamed if I was so fake. There's just no level of fakeness these people will stop at.

I got caught on that too. I thought the flag was to be at half staff until the funeral was over. Guess I was wrong and in that case I guess Trump didn't really do anything wrong. Everybody who left theirs as is were neither right nor wrong.
