DeSantis torches White House over Pride flag, topless guest debaclesBy Ryan King
June 15, 2023
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took the Biden administration to task Thursday for putting the Pride flag front-and-center at the White House and inviting a transgender influencer who went topless on the South Lawn.
“When they had at the White House, you know, this transgender flag as the precedence over the American flag, that’s wrong, that is not how you display the American flag,” DeSantis, a top contender for the 2024 Republican nomination, told reporters in Fort Pierce at a budget-signing event.
On Saturday, the White House celebrated Pride Month with decorations that included a rainbow-colored LGBTQ+ flag at the center of the White House balcony, with American flags to its right and left — an apparent violation of the US Flag Code.
That same day, Rose Montoya, 27, shook hands with President Biden before later removing her top. Images of the stunt swirled on social media, and the White House later decried the exhibition as “inappropriate and disrespectful” before barring Montoya from future events.
