"This is a about a long-term trend where the people who run everything — the elites in Washington, New York, and L.A. — despise rural America and its culture, suspect anybody who doesn’t live in their cities of being a bigot, and they’re trying to crush that culture by banning its symbols — not just the Confederate flag, but the American flag," "Fox and Friends" co-host Tucker Carlson said on Sunday. "They hate expressions of patriotism. It makes them uncomfortable."

Co-host Anna Kooiman chimed in to say that "Americans are feeling guilty" about their patriotism.

"Come on, America, let’s wake up before the American flag ends up in a museum!" she said.

Carlson then added that nobody has tried to ban the rainbow flag.

"It’s a one-way deal. You have one small culture with all the money and all the power in America trying to crush everyone else. It doesn’t go both ways," he said.
