The Biden administration continues to show a blatant disregard for American values and traditions. Earlier this week during a recent Pride Month event, the administration displayed the Pride flag alongside the American flag, violating the U.S. Flag Code.

Conservatives across the country were outraged by this blatant display of disrespect for our country’s flag. Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, called out Biden’s “revolutionary transgender agenda targeting children” and stated that by violating the Flag Code, he was disrespecting every American service member buried under its colors.
To advance revolutionary transgender agenda targeting children, Biden violates basic tenet of US Flag Code and disrespects every American service member buried under its colors.

The U.S. Flag Code clearly states that when multiple flags are displayed from staffs, the American flag “should be at the center and at the highest point of the group.” Yet, at the White House event, the Pride flag was given the same level of importance as our nation’s flag. This is unacceptable.
Here’s how Biden’s press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to the allegations:

“It centered around love and family and I think that’s important. We’re not going to let anyone distract us from that … I’m certainly not going to get into protocols from here.” pic.twitter.com/eq15Fo0mhg
The Biden administration’s actions not only violate the Flag Code, but they also send a message that the LGBTQ community is more important than our country and its citizens. This is a dangerous precedent to set and it is clear that Biden’s priorities are not in line with those of the American people.
While the administration and its allies may try to spin this as a celebration of love and family, the truth is that it is a political statement disguised as a feel-good event. It is just a part of the Left’s broader agenda to push their radical ideas on the American people.
The time has come for Americans to stand up and demand that our flag be respected. We must hold those who disrespect it accountable, no matter who they are. It is up to us to defend our country and its values in a time when they are under attack by the very people we have elected to protect them.
We must continue to fight for our nation’s flag and all that it represents. We must stand up against those who seek to undermine its importance and fight to keep America strong and free. Only then can we ensure that our country remains a shining beacon of hope for future generations.
