There's a snopes article about this and it calls Bernie supporters sharing this "disingenuous" for not mentioning that she ordered the flag not be replaced after this guy tore it down for the second time in two days.

I was skeptical if this was true or not, but after I read this part

We could find no evidence that Feinstein was responsible for that act, and the director of Recreation and Parks, Thomas Malloy, said it was done "quite by accident."

I was like "oh okay so it 100% was Feinstein"

They're only claiming to deboonk that she definitely did it multiple times

Claim: While mayor of San Francisco mayor (sic) in 1984, Dianne Feinstein repeatedly ordered the reinstallation of a Confederate battle flag outside City Hall.

Unproven

Snopes turned into the exact thing republicans wrongly accused it of being from the start. Anytime somebody tries to gotcha with snopes just keep the article where they said Biden didn't fall going up the stairs of air force one or the one that claims Biden didn't say he doesn't have any empathy for young people.

The debunking is literally "dont believe your lying eyes and ears"
