Would anyone consider just for a moment that it could have been a White-House grounds and building worker who thought that he or she was following the printed and usual protocol ? Must we read evil intent into everything ?
And now I am going to double lock my doors and seek out my old hockey hemet .
And P.S. I supported the senator when he was running for the nomination the first time and when he ran for the office of president . So please do not take my remarks as a sign of disrespect and the flag at my home is at half-mast .

I think all one has to do is connect the dots. Given the very public communication between POTUS and the Senator, it is clear that this was no error of the groundskeepers. And now because of blowback from veterans groups, the flag is all of a sudden back at half mast. Predictable.
