In 2016, a local school superintendent in Michigan apologized after students waved the flag alongside a Trump political banner at a football game, writing in a letter to parents that the Betsy Ross flag to some symbolizes exclusion and hate.

According to a 2013 investigation by The Albany Herald in Georgia, at least some local Klan units were required to use either that flag or the Confederate flag at ritualistic meetings.

Ah, the classic "to some"

Coprophagia is sexy "to some"

A couple of rednecks in Georgia do not suddenly make the Betsy Ross flag a hate symbol unless you have the fortitude of a toddler.

That seems to be the modern standard in politics.
