NYT, MSNBC's Mara Gay: 'Disturbing' to see 'dozens of American flags' on trucks on Long Island
[NYPOST] MSNBC contributor Mara Gay said Tuesday that she was "disturbed" to see "dozens of American flags" flown by Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
supporters during a weekend trip to Long Island, New York.
The left-wing editorial board member for the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
was also distressed by what she called expletives on the trucks against President Joe Biden
 ...... 46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. ......
, describing the flag-flying Trump supporters as sending a clear message: "This is my country ... not your country. I own this."
"The reality is here that we have a large percentage of the American population — I don’t know how big it is, but we have tens of millions of Trump voters who continue to believe that their rights as citizens are under threat by simple virtue of having to share the democracy with others," Gay said in response to MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski calling for an investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
"I think that as long as they see Americanness as the same as one with whiteness, this is going to continue," Gay said, turning to race and adding that "Americanness" and "whiteness" needed to be separated.
