The college town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, showed its true colors Tuesday. With Hillary Clinton set to roll into town the very next day, townies anxious to impress their preferred presidential candidate set aside Monday’s Old Glory, replacing it on the town’s street lamps with the rainbow LGBT pride flag.
But, without warning or explanation, the Clinton campaign called Monday—only once everything was prepared just so—and postponed the swanky lunchtime fundraiser scheduled for Tuesday.
A friend of THE WEEKLY STANDARD confirmed that Chapel Hill continued to wave its rainbow flags on Franklin Street, the town’s main thoroughfare, well into Tuesday evening—hoping, perhaps, that Hillary was merely delayed.
“Chapel Hill officials were chagrined because they had worked to make a good impression in anticipation of the Democratic nominee’s scheduled visit,” the same local source told TWS.
