It would have been particularly ironic if she had used the Gadsden flag that seems to be popular among those on the right. ETA: I just looked it up and there are lots of people who sell [Gadsden flag door mats](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&sca_esv=b7961e67de3bf304&sxsrf=ADLYWIKUZP5Utl42K5bH3kPwTI2ENuuDdA:1723840946601&q=gadsden+flag+doormat&udm=28&fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J03RPjGV0MznOJ6Likin94oGSh4l60tfPppA0C5BN3BoPIPZ4mO02288TWcC6nhc953r-iEY0Fnsc8p63NNuEo-_9lE3vw8_wlWQTOUoJiOaz96h-0idQ3ri-YSm1XM5OrXkpWcQFBioEOqIgZo9k77XCAGMfHUETSSqA9Acuma1rt2NRw&ved=1t:220175&ictx=111&biw=1520&bih=801&dpr=1).

Just incredible. Trumpy is actually endorsing Harris.

Before long we’ll be hearing about how the Harris Administration dropped the ball and let the 9-11 hijackers attack the US. And how the Harris Administration made terrible decisions that allowed COVID-19 to enter the US and flourish. Not to mention how the Harris Administration positively _encouraged_ the rampages of Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy. She has a lot to answer for!!!11!!!
