The funniest most chilling thing about this is the question of why this has even come up. Who has a burning desire to… display these symbols ?
Update: The U.S. Coast Guard reversed course, saying the swastika and noose were indeed hate symbols that are prohibited.
This came hours after The Post reported that the service was about to enact a new policy that downgraded those symbols.

In reversal, Coast Guard again classifies swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The new order came hours after The Post reported the service would instead classify such symbols as “potentially divisive” under guidelines set for release next month.

A truly disgusting move from the CG, but not unexpected with the direction things have been moving since they removed ADM Fagan.
Do better, Coast Guard.

The violence is being committed by ICE — masked men, no ID, no warrants.
Don’t believe the rhetoric being pushed by violent criminals about ‘violent criminals’ cause it’s all BS.
Call your Reps and demand they hold hearings, sanctioned or not. This needs to stop.
