Sorry, just like to learn...

So, for a ceremony like this they would normally use a flag that was flown over the white house, giving it greater honour?

However I digress....the lip readers say she said "I wonder if they flew that flag", but I fail to understand how it has context with the situation.

Never the less, I don't get the feeling that Barry and co are as anti as the Clinton clan was / is to tradition etc. However now I think about it, that's not saying much.
