'Don't you guys find it amazing that you can say, “I love this country,” and it means you're Republican,' the 42-year-old said. 'That you can wear an American flag and it means you're Republican. 'Why aren't these things American?'. Patrick then revealed why she chose to get an American flag tattooed on her back, admitting that she returned to the country with a renewed sense of pride after living in Britain for three years.
