USA Today reporter crushed with backlash after calling ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag ‘Christian nationalist’
A USA Today reporter is facing fierce backlash after reporting that a top education official had hung a “Christian nationalist” symbol at his office — but it turned out to be an “Appeal to Heaven” flag.
Zach Schermele posted an image of the flag hung at the office of Murray Bessette, the principal deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development. The flag has a long historical tradition in the U.S. going back to the Revolutionary War.
‘Can we get a reporter with room temperature IQ or better?’
“A controversial Christian nationalist flag is hanging outside the D.C. office of a top Education Department official, the agency’s union and an employee who has observed it firsthand told me,” Schermele wrote on social media.
“The flag, which was raised by rioters during the Jan. 6 insurrection,” he added, “is adorning the office of Murray Bessette, principal deputy assistant secretary in the Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development.”
His bizarre accusation was widely mocked on social media.
“We’re not doing this again. We’re not letting leftist media ignorance of American history demonize a patriotic flag dating back to the Revolutionary War and the Continental Navy. Proud to have it outside my office!” Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah responded.
“Reminder: this is not a ‘Christian nationalist flag.’ It was commissioned by George Washington himself, was designed by his personal secretary, and has long served in official & unofficial capacities as a flag of Maine & Massachusetts,” Dan McLaughlin of National Review replied.
“Can we get a reporter with room temperature IQ or better?” another detractor said.
“Attacking a revolutionary war flag that celebrates natural rights is a good way to announce you hate America’s founding principles,” Second Amendment activist Kostas Moros said.
Schermele did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck summarized the historical significance of the flag when Alito was smeared for displaying it.
“That was the symbol of New England since the 16th century. Why? Because New England had big pine trees. Why was that important? Because they could build ships and build them for England or whoever and ship giant masts, which were hard to find because nobody had the giant pine trees that New England had,” Beck said.
The image also referred to a peace tradition among Iroquois Indians to ease tensions between warring nations.
“So, it is also the symbol of the tree of peace,” he added. “It was also on the coinage produced by the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and it became the symbol of the colonial iron resistance as well as a multi-tribal support for independence now.”

Kamala Harris wants to run for president again? Some see signs despite donors and party leaders worrying she cannot win.
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is reportedly taking some steps toward running for president again, even though donors believe she cannot win.
An Axios report said Harris was signaling to possible competitors for the Democratic nomination that she may run again. Axios cited comments made about her and recent appearances she’s made to maintain her position atop the party.
‘People are done with the status quo, and they’re ready to break things to force change.’
Axios reported that many Democratic donors and party leaders are worried Harris will lose if she runs again.
Harris has extended her book tour with more stops in 2026, including some in the important primary state of South Carolina, as well as cities with a large population of black voters.
She also appeared with her husband, Doug Emhoff, at the winter meeting of the Democratic National Committee in Los Angeles, California.
DNC chair Ken Martin reportedly suggested at the meeting that Harris might run again.
On Wednesday, Martin referred to Emhoff as the former second gentleman, then reportedly joked that he might become the future first gentleman.
Harris is also employing new rhetoric that some find to be far different from the communications strategy she used during the campaign.
“Both parties have failed to hold the public’s trust,” the former vice president said at the DNC meeting. “Government is viewed as fundamentally unable to meet the needs of its people. … People are done with the status quo, and they’re ready to break things to force change.”
Polling also showed Harris to be one of the top contenders for the nomination.

A Harris spokesperson said in a statement to Axios that Harris “will approach 2026 with the same commitment that anchored 2025 — listening to the American people, reflecting where leadership has fallen short, and helping shape the path forward beyond this political moment.”
In May, a top Harris-Walz campaign advisor blamed the election loss on former President Joe Biden for staying in his doomed re-election campaign far too long.
“It’s all Biden. … He totally f**ked us,” David Plouffe said.
