An Air Force veteran made news this weekend when she was arrested after trying to take a flag from protestors, which the protestors were stepping on. Quickly hailed as a hero by the right, there is more to this "patriot" than meets the eye.
And the violence and threats continue: The office also reported getting a portion of a cut-up American flag soaked in gasoline and a typed letter addressed to McCollum and other Minnesota Democrats including Rep.
