Trump's flag desecration Tweet reflects a Clinton proposal

Trump tweeted a flag burning law that Hillary Clinton proposed in 2005 and the left savaged him, many who supported Hillary Clinton in the election

Was Trump just making a point about leftist media and NeverTrumpers?

The left went nuts about Trump's tweet, but never mentioned the fact that Hillary Clinton had proposed this very thing in 2005. All of the people below supported Hillary Clinton explicitly or at least would have preferred that Hillary be elected over Trump.

Trump: Punish flag-burning (which is constitutionally protected) by revoking citizenship (which is unconstitutional) https://t.co/PUDix3dJ5O

David Frum, a NeverTrumper, seemed to support Hilary in the election. But when Trump repeats her proposal, he lashes out . . .

If flag-burning merits loss of citizenship, what should be the penalty for a Nazi salute by a Trump supporter?

Today's choice for outrage:
A. A stupid tweet about flag burning that makes Trump sound fascistic.
B. Privatizing Medicare.
C. Both.
