This speaks volumes about the modern Democratic Party. On Tuesday, U.S. News reporter Steven Nelson said that U.S. and Israeli flags were burned as protesters chanted for “intifada.”

According to Nelson, the special snowflakes who burned the flags complained that they were made of nylon, not cotton. So naturally, they didn’t burn very well…

And of course, police didn’t stop it…

“F–k Hillary!” a crowd melodically chanted, swaying back and forth as two full-sized American flags burned on a sidewalk.

But not everyone was okay with the flag-burning, Nelson said:
