The crowd chanted, “Build that wall,” Donald Trump went over and hugged an American flag, and the xenophobic and racist impulses of the Republican Party were on full display.

Here is a better look at Trump hugging the flag:
What Trump is selling is the exact opposite of the values that the United States of America was founded on. The United States is a nation of immigrants, but the Republican Party has nominated a man who wants to keep immigrants out.
Donald Trump isn’t embracing the values that our flag represents. He is destroying them. Republicans have substituted xenophobia for patriotism, and their racist warping of everything that this country is supposed to stand for was captured in a single moment while Donald Trump spoke in Florida.
Trump and his supporters represent a knee-jerk reaction to the changing of America. They represent a reaction against change and diversification, and the desperate pleas for a wall were symptomatic of their desire to block progress in our country.
The xenophobic bigotry and racism that is the beating heart of the Republican Party have never been clearly captured than when Trump hugged the American flag in Tampa.
