Steve Schmidt on Twitter: "That is a 45 Star flag from 1895. It’s a Utah statehood flag. The pattern is called a medallion wreath. The current arrangement of stars wasn’t mandated until 1912… https://t.co/bzCdHvuEGQ"

  Thanks for the help! We were wondering ourselves what flag that was...we never really questioned it before.

  My friends and I were talking about the flag that was behind you while you were speaking on MSNBC tonight--helpful to find you answered already! Is there a significance to it for you? Or just enjoy the design?
