There's a snopes article about this and it calls Bernie supporters sharing this "disingenuous" for not mentioning that she ordered the flag not be replaced after this guy tore it down for the second time in two days.
Richard Bradley shinnied up a flagpole in front of San Francisco City Hall for the second time in as many days yesterday to tear down a Confederate flag he finds offensive. When he got to the ground, after ripping the flag to shreds and throwing the pieces to the ground, he was arrested and charged with malicious mischief. He was arrested on the same charge Sunday after he climbed the same flagpole and tore apart another Confederate flag
Not to give Churchill credit for anything ever but he really summed it up when he said Americans (liberals) can be counted on to do the right thing once they've exhausted every single other option.
I was skeptical if this was true or not, but after I read this part
We could find no evidence that Feinstein was responsible for that act, and the director of Recreation and Parks, Thomas Malloy, said it was done "quite by accident."
Snopes turned into the exact thing republicans wrongly accused it of being from the start. Anytime somebody tries to gotcha with snopes just keep the article where they said Biden didn't fall going up the stairs of air force one or the one that claims Biden didn't say he doesn't have any empathy for young people.
The debunking is literally "dont believe your lying eyes and ears"
They're only claiming to deboonk that she definitely did it multiple times
Claim: While mayor of San Francisco mayor (sic) in 1984, Dianne Feinstein repeatedly ordered the reinstallation of a Confederate battle flag outside City Hall.
I'm kinda pissed I can't find the article, even on wayback. I found it when Dave Anthony did a whole rant about it on the Dollop patreon a couple months back.

Absolutely based.
Stories like this always make me feel like the Confederacy won
"the union won the war, the confederacy won the peace" is how my college prof put it

The plastic bag scene from American Beauty, but the wind blows a confederate flag onto a flagpole in San Francisco.
That is a lot of words to try and avoid saying "yes she was fine with flying the Confederate flag"
we're only taking it down because this person asked me to, not that I want it down
She even dug in when announcing it wouldn't go back up, but totally just Bernie bros making her look bad
After having it put back up after the first time.

I miss when Snopes answered questions like “Do you actually need to wait an hour after eating to swim?”
They're only claiming to deboonk that she definitely did it multiple times
At one point there was a snopes article about this and their sources were just that they asked her staff and they said no.
Well if her staff disagree, I have no reason to suspect ulterior motives!

As if that makes a fucking difference lmao
