Democrats don’t want voters to see this!
Clinton Once Pushed to Criminalize Flag Burning
Liberals are blasting President Donald Trump for signing a bold executive order that enforces jail time for burning the American flag. But here’s the shocking twist: Hillary Clinton once said the exact same thing.
A resurfaced 2006 Senate floor speech shows Clinton demanding legislation that would criminalize flag desecration. She proudly backed the Flag Protection Act and declared:
“I hope we can pass a law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration.”
Hillary’s Words Come Back to Haunt Democrats
Clinton went even further, saying that burning Old Glory is “deeply offensive,” “despicable,” and an insult to America’s veterans and soldiers who risk their lives for freedom.
She even compared flag burning to cross burning, citing the 2003 Supreme Court case Virginia v. Black, which upheld laws banning intimidation by fire. According to Clinton, Americans feel “intimidated” when they see their flag deliberately destroyed.
So why are Democrats mocking Trump now, when their own party leader once pushed for the same thing?
Trump Acts Where Democrats Flip-Flop
On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order that lays down the law:
- One-year mandatory jail sentence for flag burners.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi directed to enforce federal laws “to the fullest extent possible.”
- Homeland Security and Secretary of State Marco Rubio authorized to revoke visas, block immigration benefits, and deport foreign nationals caught desecrating the flag.
This decisive action proves what millions of patriotic Americans already know: Trump defends the flag while Democrats play politics.
Why This Matters to Every Patriot
For veterans, Gold Star families, and everyday Americans who salute the flag with pride, Trump’s order is a long-overdue step. Respect for the flag is not a partisan issue — even Hillary Clinton once admitted that.
The difference? Trump actually acted on it.
