President Joe Biden’s administration has faced backlash online, with many Twitter users claiming it violated the U.S. flag rule for Sunday’s Pride Month display at the White House.
Mr. Biden praised the LGBT community in a post on Saturday, revealing a pair of flags on the White House facing the South Lawn. The display includes a rainbow pride flag flanked by two American flags.
Twitter users argue that the exhibit violates a provision of the US Flag Regulations that requires the Stars and Stripes to be placed in the center of exhibits featuring multiple flags and pennants.
“To advance the transgender revolutionary agenda for children, Biden violates the basic tenets of the U.S. Flag Code and disrespects all U.S. military personnel who are buried in its colors,” said Judicial Oversight Commissioner. wrote Tom Fitton of
