The fact that they were having a council meeting to reevaluate the car's design was intentionally misrepresented by people like Franklin Graham, the Christian Broadcasting Network, Fox News, and Infowars in order to turn the story into one where the flag is under attack. Because the flag was never under attack, when the flag isn't ultimately removed from the cars, all of these outlets get to march around and pretend that they won some super important cult. I'm on team climate change.
