It all started out with a simple joke:
in solidarity against Russia, the United States will no longer use red, white, and blue in the American flag pic.twitter.com/owRhqerPZk

Dumb. Cringe.

And of course, Pelosi has her hands on it, front-and-center; she’s a master of cringe. Remember this?
That the new pride flag?
