NPR Hates DeSantis, Smears Old Flag as Symbol of ‘Dangerous Right-Wing Ideology’

What is the best way to know if left-wing media are trying to kill Ron DeSantis. When taxpayer-funded NPR suddenly finds the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag from the Revolutionary War to be a “far-right” emblem of lies and violence. Scott Neuman wrote:

Florida governor. Ron DeSantis has recently tweeted an image of what he said was a new state license plate featuring a coiled rattlesnake and the words “Don’t Tread on Me,” he said it sends a “clear message to out-of-state cars.”

Benjamin Franklin used the Revolutionary War-era Gadsden Flag imagery. However, it has since come to represent a far-right ideology and the Stop the Steal movement, which sought to reverse the 2020 election results.

Conservatives react to this tweet: 

This is a little funny, since NPR has an affinity for dangerous far-left extremist ideology. They praised the book. The Defense of Looting in 2020. It is “a powerful tool.” NPR’s goosebumps when NPR reads books on how “rebellions”, not riots, are leftist riots against racial equality. NPR should consider this a form of activism.

Naturally, NPR turned to the left-wing “extremism experts,” who claimed “most of the public”….thinks like NPR?

“The state cannot claim ignorance about the subject.” This is what the image signifies to most people.Rachel Carroll Rivas (deputy director, research and analysis) at the Intelligence Project is a spokesperson for the Southern Poverty Law Center.

It’s becoming clear, she says. The flag was used in some very horrible causes. This includes the Jan. 6, 2017 rebellion at the U.S. Capitol where police were attacked by violent protesters as part of an attempt to reverse the 2020 election results.

Biden was elected, January 6th was terrible, but the idea of smearing the Gadsden flag with far-right kookery and slandering it is not new. This tactic was also used by liberal media celebrities during the Obama years, when it was popular with Tea Party members. Chris Matthews called it “McCarthyite,” and also turned to the SPLC to decry this symbol. Juan Williams equated it to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Even porny PlayboyIt was a slap on Glenn Beck’s face that got him in the act.
