They profusely 'claim' that some type of attachment clip broke at the top of the flag and if simply 'fell' upside-down. The time the flag was upside-down was very brief and they 'fixed it' immediately (according to reports).
Based on the position of the flag on the pole that was briefly upside-down, you can tell it wasn't actually at half-mast and the space between the height of the flag and the top of the pole are the same distance as the height of the flag. Methinks people are putting hopium into this story when there really isn't any there.
I wanted to pounce on the hopium of it too, but once I actually looked into it, the symbolism potential of an upside-down flag flying over the U.S. Senate quickly evaporated because it clearly wasn't intentional.
For starters - logically - if anyone in Congress at the U.S. Capitol would have actually done flown the flag upside-down, it would have been in front of the House building (GOP-dominant) - not the Senate building (Dem-dominant).
At the Capitol, over the Senate.
notable!

and they would have discussed why it was done with media
