"The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property," according to the Cornell Univeristy school, and one reporter asked if Spicer was  "under a distress call or something."​

​Popular Netflix show “House of Cards” took the faux pas as an ode to their logo.
