The Rest of The Story (I like the part about AOC)WASHINGTON, D.C.—At a press conference held on Capitol Hill Friday, mourning Democrat leaders called for flags to be flown half-mast to honor the death of Qasem Soleimani.
Flags were spotted flying at half-mast around the country, notably at The Washington Post, The New York Times, and in front of several celebrities' homes.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

Think of the embarrassment to those red-faced celebrities who spent their hard-won Hollywood dollars buying an actual American flag...Why there were probably paparazzi lurking about who captured the event for the NY Post, and some ambitious Trump-voting reporter will dig up the credit card evidence to caption the photo...When told of the obviously Republican plot to discredit the Democrat Party, an outraged AOC was quoted as saying, "Huh?"...Later, Democrats clarified they meant we should fly the Iranian flag at half-mast, not the "offensive and problematic" American flag....Ben

Didn't happen:
This item was not a factual recounting of real-life events. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows:
The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life.

After making my post I suspected that was the intent----but I can see more than a few grabbing that like a dog on a new bone
