Hugh Hewitt claims Trump just forgot to fly flag at half staff for McCain: ‘It’s an egregious oversight’ https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/hugh-hewitt-claims-trump-just-forgot-fly-flag-half-staff-mccain-egregious-oversight/

“He forgot?”

I could buy forget, there are a lot of little niggling things in protocol that someone could forget. That’s why the White House has a Protocol Officer, who keeps the President informed on the correct protocol for every situation.

So either:

a) The Protocol Officer is incompetent (not likely)
b) The President overruled the Protocol Officer (Trump’s a jerk)

Hewitt’s pathetic apologia for Trump is pathetic.
