MSNBC Numerology Claims, President Trump Flag Order

MSNBC analyst and former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi claimed President Trump’s order to fly flags at half-staff until August 8th was a coded message to neo-Nazis. Figliuzzi argued that the numbers 8-8 correspond to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H, representing "Heil Hitler." Critics dismissed the segment as scripted numerology, while others noted the President mistakenly referred to Dayton as Toledo during his teleprompter address.
