Sean Spicer Wears American Flag Pin Upside Down
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.

I'm not certain, but I'd wager Sean Spicer's upside down flag pin was a secret cry for help. @PressSec we can help, you just gotta open up. pic.twitter.com/SBZDfCrsbQ

Sean Spicer's American flag pin is upside down. Upside down flag is a distress symbol. Headline: Metaphor Delivers Press Conference.

spicer with his flag pin upside-down, told it's upside-down, & "fixing" it but leaving it upside-down, is the best metaphor for the Trump WH

Sean Spicer's flag badge is actually the right way up. The entire White House press room is upside down, including the camera

It's obvious that Sean Spicer wearing his flag pin upside down was a clear signal to CIA, FBI, ETC that the White House has been compromised

Re: Sean Spicer's upside down flag pin. Very easy mistake to make, especially if you can no longer stand to look at yourself in the mirror.
