Organizers told some attendees that anyone caught waving or holding the flags would be thrown out.
An attendee from San Francisco told a reporter from The Hill that he didn't want to give up the flag, which he had sought to keep as a souvenir. The man also said that no one had a sense of humor any more.

Do they not even realize that these people were to stupid to know what they were doing in the first place? Trump likes stupid people so you would think he gives the few smart ones to have patience with the dumb ones.
