URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – There are political statements, and then there are statements about your character. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill just made both at the same time.
Following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, the Trump White House issued a proclamation directing U.S. flags to be flown at half-staff nationwide through Saturday evening in remembrance of the longtime South Carolina Republican. It is a straightforward, time-honored tradition of honoring the passing of a sitting United States Senator. Sherrill apparently couldn’t bring herself to do it.
State flag status records confirmed that flags at the New Jersey Capitol remained at full-staff as of midday Thursday. A New Jersey Department of State website tracking flag status also indicated “all flags full-staff” on Thursday, a direct snub of both the White House directive and the memory of a man who served his country for decades.
State Senator Joe Pennacchio (R-Boonton) had formally requested the governor lower the flags earlier in the week following Graham’s death, and he didn’t mince words about what Sherrill’s refusal says about her administration.
“This is probably the most political [Trenton administration], and she’s only been there six months — probably the most political governor I’ve served with in the last 25 years,” Pennacchio told Fox News Digital.
Six months in office. That’s all it took for Sherrill to establish herself as someone willing to use a man’s death as a vehicle for partisan point-scoring.
This is the same Democratic Party that turns around and blames Donald Trump for the division in this country. The same party whose members were caught openly celebrating Graham’s passing on social media within hours of the news breaking. And when they’re not celebrating, they’re doing exactly what Sherrill did, stripping away even the most basic gestures of common decency and human respect because the deceased had an R next to his name.
Mikie Sherrill is anti American trash
No shame whatsoever https://t.co/IDhKJcTx7f

Mikie Sherrill is a former Navy pilot and federal prosecutor who won the New Jersey governorship in 2025. She positioned herself as a moderate during the campaign. There is nothing moderate about refusing to lower a flag for a dead United States Senator out of pure political spite.
These moments have a way of sticking. Voters remember who people really are in times of tragedy, and Sherrill just showed them exactly who she is.
