Sean Spicer opened his daily press briefing with his American flag lapel pin upside down – and boy the internet noticed.
The White House press secretary took the podium to recap President Donald Trump’s first 50 days in office.
But all the internet could think about was the pin…
Twitter is predictably *losing it* over Spicer's upside down flag pin.

Traditionally, an upside-down American flag is a sign of distress or an act of political protest so naturally, people were *concerned*…

What if Sean Spicer is actually being held captive and the upside down pin was a cry for help?

Spicer quickly fixed the pin when Fox News reporter John Roberts hold him his flag pin was on upside-down.But of course, some of us have other theories…
Sean Spicer's flag badge is actually the right way up. The entire White House press room is upside down, including the camera
