Spicer wears flag pin upside down...

... and refuses to fix it when it's pointed out to him...

Clearly a distress signal...

From Cosmo

White House press secretary Sean Spicer arrived at the Friday press conference wearing an upside-down American flag pin on his lapel.

Fortunately for Spicer, the White House press corps brought it to his attention.

“Your pin’s upside-down,” Fox News’s John Roberts said.

“John Roberts, always helping with the fashion tips,” Spicer responded. However, that didn't get Spicer to fix the issue.

“It’s still upside-down,” another reporter had to remind him.

Of course, that didn't stop the internet from taking Spicer to task - and asking him if the upside down flag was secretly a cry for help.

And they did. The tweets are priceless and worth the click.

This was Friday. If it's already been posted, lock me up...

... was the tweet that said it was bound to happen to someone who can no longer look at himself in the mirror. I actually did LOL.

"Wow, all of you that mock and slander the President should be shot for treason!"

Yes, that's the mentality of the cretins we're dealing with. Collude with Russia? No biggie. Mock the prez? Firing squad.

Obama doing that. It would be a secret anti-american message. ALEX Jones would hsve a stroke.

... my conservative friends that it is a Russian allegiance signal - much like the Pepe the Frog hand signs Trump and his minions have been throwing to not so secretly pledge their loyalty to the Alt-Right. They LOVE conspiracy theories.
