The Republican Party, as well as their president, have just gotten a striking message from the state of Wyoming that is going to serve as a brutal reminder of just how much trouble they’re going to be in during midterms.

This week, police were alerted that the American flag had been taken down in a public park in Laramie, Wyoming. It was replaced with a Nazi flag, which was seen flying high. The American flag that was usually flying at the flagpole was discovered crumpled up on the ground. Truly, this is a powerful and horrific moment in which the America that Donald Trump has created is on display.

Lieutenant Gwen Smith of the Laramie Police Department reported that police paid respect to the American flag, folded it properly and saluted it before replacing the Nazi flag. Smith said it was not yet known who had raised the Nazi flag and that no damage had been done to the U.S. flag.

Laramie Mayor Andrea Summerville spoke about the incident and said:

The City of Laramie will remain watchful for and vigilant against any other use of hateful Nazi symbols or propaganda. Our community has been touched by hate before and we will not stand for it again.”

As the person or group behind the Nazi flag is unknown, the motives are uncertain. However, this can easily be connected to the bigotry and hate crimes that the Trump administration has been promoting – an agenda that is going to suppress Republicans in November. Considering how much press hate crimes have gotten during Trump’s presidency, this is a PR nightmare for the GOP as they gear up for midterms. This couldn’t come at a worse time and will serve as a reminder to vote blue.
