A San Francisco man flew a Nazi flag over his house to protest Donald Trump's win
An unidentified San Francisco homeowner flew a Nazi flag over his house after Donald Trump was declared President-Elect, according to SFist, who received a tip about the flag.
The act of political commentary didn't go over well with the neighbors.
In a video taken by SF Chronicle reporter Michael Bodley and posted on Twitter, the homeowner explained to a neighbor that it was a "comment on our new president elect." He compared Trump to Il Duce, the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, "but the Italians did not have as good of a flag."

The flag was supposed to be a political statement about life in the Donald Trump era, but neighbors weren't fond to see the Nazi flag, even if the homeowner claimed to detest Trump.
It's not photoshopped. This is happening in San Francisco right now, the day after @realDonaldTrump was elected president. pic.twitter.com/ghYBWm5D60

After the confrontation, the man went inside and changed the flag. Now there's a rainbow peace symbol flying high instead.
