Ultimately, they discovered one thing on the grounds to pin their outrage to … a flag show hanging from the White Home itself, with the Satisfaction rainbow flag slotted in between two U.S. flags.
You see, some have been citing a sure a part of the U.S. Flag Code — which, sure, is certainly actual — and asserted JB was in violation of part 7, article (e) … which discusses how U.S. flags ought to be displayed in public. There are 15 articles dissecting this complete matter, BTW.
Article (e) reads, “The flag of america of America ought to be on the heart and on the highest level of the group when numerous flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.” Principally, the purple, white and blue oughta take precedent and be most outstanding amongst an assortment of flags — that is the “rule.”
In response to how the WH organized the flags right here, one conservative — echoing many others — writes, “To advance revolutionary transgender agenda focusing on youngsters, Biden violates fundamental tenet of US Flag Code and disrespects each American service member buried beneath its colours.” Some are even calling on Biden to apologize and/or be held to account.
The truth … no person goes to do squat about this — as a result of, frankly, it isn’t an enormous deal. Extra importantly, although, the U.S. Flag Code (whereas technically a federal regulation) shouldn’t be enforced in any respect … and operates extra as a suggestion on correct decorum/customized than something.
In different phrases, it is a lot ado about nothing … however some are making a mountain out of a mole hill regardless. We obtained an extended month forward of us.
