Of course there were protests and marches outside of Tuesday night’s GOP debate in Milwaukee, with agitators ranging from a pro-Palestine contingent to Fight for $15 to Black Lives Matter to the “Hands off my uterus” crowd.

This protester couldn’t even wait for it to get properly dark out before setting the American flag on fire.

We’ve seen plenty of flags spray-painted, flown upside-down and burned since Ferguson, so there’s something special about seeing it treated with respect.

@MilwaukeePolice @TheTeditorial I'd contribute to help buy a 1-way ticket to a country that protester would prefer.
