Piers Morgan desecrates American flag on Independence Day; Patriots spank

Musket Morgan’s Independence Day tweet-trolling didn’t end with a “deep, abiding regret that George III couldn’t keep his s**t together.”

Patriots spanked Musket Morgan for disrespecting flag etiquette:

@piersmorgan Flag etiquette, faux pas. We'll let it slide this time. 🙂 http://t.co/oSd0BR2wHM

@AdamBaldwin @_EOD @piersmorgan The flag should never touch anything beneath it.

“@HarrietBaldwin: @AdamBaldwin @_EOD @piersmorgan The flag should never touch anything beneath it.”

And Piers is beneath it. For sure.

The US Flag code should be required learning in American schools. @HarrietBaldwin @AdamBaldwin @_EOD @piersmorgan

In fairness to Morgan, we must acknowledge his respect for the American flag (which he holds dear because it has one star representing each of his viewers), but we hope Morgan found this lesson in flag etiquette useful so he doesn’t make the same mistake next year.
