Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico in 2019: The American Flag Is Such a Complicated Symbol for Most of Us

TRANSCRIPT:

TALARICO: “I often think when reclaiming symbols, I think about the American flag. I think the Confederate flag is a symbol of treason and terrorism. But the American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us. And in many ways, like Jesus, like the cross, it's been co-opted and in some ways its true meaning has been betrayed.”
