Axios got the order of the emoji Waltz used in the Houthi chat wrong, repeatedly, including in quotations.
They write 👊🔥🇺🇸
But it is 👊🇺🇸🔥

Screenshot of news article about the emoji combination 👊🇺🇸🔥. These emoji were used by Michael Waltz in a group chat on Signal, which a journalist from The Atlantic was accidentally granted access to. The article says these emoji are being used online in reference to the scandal. The article incorrectly uses 👊🔥🇺🇸 instead of 👊🇺🇸🔥, swapping the order of the American flag and the fire emoji, including in quotations. Example excerpt from the text: The House Foreign Affairs Committee Democrats account on X quoted a post with that shows Waltz saying, "This journalist, Mr. President, wants the world talking about more hoaxes and this kind of nonsense rather than the freedom that you are enabling," with 👊🔥🇺🇸 emojis. Bill Kristol, director of Defending Democracy Together, posted: "Shouldn't 👊🔥🇺🇸 become an ironic meme? Call it the Waltz." Context: Waltz sent the 👊🔥🇺🇸 emojis in a Signal group chat called "Houthi PC small group" a few hours after explosions were being heard across Sanaa, the capital city of Yemen, according to Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, who was accidentally added.
