Twitter users were stunned as video of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman’s latest rally showed several American flags directly behind him get blown over by strong gusts of wind as soon as he began speaking.
Users wondered if it was an ominous sign for Fetterman’s performance on Election Day this year. Others called it the "perfect metaphor" for the Democrat's campaign.
After Fetterman took the stage and uttered only a few words at his latest Pennsylvania rally – days before the election between him and Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz – the flags standing directly behind him began to topple over under high winds.
