New York Times editorial board member finds American flags, "disturbing," and uses explicatives instead of expletives.

You know what, I find Mara Gay, "disturbing," and she is an (expletive deleted).

How is an ignorant and inarticulate twit lacking a college-level vocabulary allowed to sit on the NYT editorial board? It must have been an affirmative action hire - she has the right ideology and the right amount of melanin.

“I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a really dear friend, and I was really disturbed. I saw, you know, dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with explicatives against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and in some cases just dozens of American flags, which is also just disturbing … Essentially the message was clear: This is my country. This is not your country. I own this,”

“I think that as long as they see Americanness as the same as one with whiteness, this is going to continue.”

“That is the real concern. Because, you know, the Trump voters who are not going to get onboard with democracy, they’re a minority. You can marginalize them, long-term. But if we don’t take the threat seriously, then I think we’re all in really bad shape.”

New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay’s comments on MSNBC have been irresponsibly taken out of context. Her argument was that Trump and many of his supporters have politicized the American flag. The attacks on her today are ill-informed and grounded in bad-faith.
