Virginia orders American flag removed from construction site

Associated Press - Sunday, July 5, 2020

RICHMOND, Va. — State officials in Virginia ordered the removal of a large American flag from a construction site ahead of the Fourth of July, calling it a potential target for people protesting racial injustice and police brutality.

Dena Potter, spokeswoman for the state Department of General Services, said officials asked a contractor to take down the flag from a new office building for state lawmakers under construction in Richmond.

If Democrats hate America so much, why don't they get the hell out?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Here's an excellent opportunity for the president to step up and use the bully pulpit.

I'd advise him to make an announcement (either by tweet or at a news conference) that he has instructed A.G. Barr to investigate Virginia for obstructing the construction company's freedom of speech (as represented by the display of the flag), and that charges will be promulgated pending a thorough investigation...
