During a press conference today, Sean Spicer took to the podium rocking the customary American flag pin. However, the walking SNL material-generator immediately had everyone talking as everyone, but Spicer, noticed the flag was upside down.

It wasn’t until a Fox News reporter pointed out the mistake that Spicer quickly fixed the issue, but as many know, the internet moves quickly.

While some would call it a simple mistake, others are saying it is a discreet cry for help for Trump’s press secretary.

If you’ve seen House of Cards on Netflix, then you know an upside down flag is a sign of distress, meant to signal that something is wrong and help is needed. So when people saw Spicer sporting the flag upside down, they saw it as a cry for help. While others took it a different way.

But whatever reaction the people had, you know it’s bound to be interesting when Twitter is involved.
