There seemed to be no American flag present up on stage at the Democratic primary debate in Houston, Texas, on Thursday night.
A videographer present at the event at Texas Southern University — as well as many others watching the event on television — could find no sign of Old Glory there up front at the venue.
The national anthem was sung at the beginning of the event (though that was not televised — that part was livestreamed only).
And during the performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Breanna Lindsey, a 20-year-old student at the school, the American flag was visible as she sang.
But where was the American flag on stage for the television audience at home once the debate started?
Does this make sense to other American patriots?
See the following tweets about the event on Thursday night.
And weigh in on all of this.
Is there really no American flag on stage at the #DemDebate in Houston? More time spent attacking our president tonight than in discussing how to #KeepAmericaGreat pic.twitter.com/y8JcAB9Qcb

Dems hate the progress cars, planes, & electricity brought to the world. They really are the party of the Flintstones! Of course THEY fly to events in private jets & drive big SUVs & protected by armed guards. Like old Commie bosses, THEY live 1 way; ask us to live another.

The debate is now collapsing. No meaningful follow up questions. Candidates dodge at will. I think Biden has fallen asleep and I don’t blame him.

Listening to this epic fail of a debate and it’s become crystal clear- it’s really easy to be a Democrat. It requires no substance whatsoever, not a shred of authenticity, and no requirement to think about a world of scarcity in any serious way. What an embarrassment. #DemDebate

LifeZette was at Thursday night’s face-off — you’ll never believe what attendees told us.
