He pulled up the flag and held onto it instead of trying to reposition it. At first, I also found it funny that it was a secret service agent that went there, but then it made sense: with the flag moving like that (it seems it had a somewhat heavy wooden structure instead of just fabric), there would be a risk of the strings holding it breaking, and then there would be a risk that it could fly and hit whoever was talking later at that empty podium. I believe it's part of their job to avoid these kinds of risks.
