State officials in Virginia order large American flag taken down from construction site ahead of July Fourth

The officials pointed to the recent protests targeting historical statues and monuments that represent what demonstrators say are a part of systemic racism in the U.S.

The flag was reportedly as tall as one story in a building and was to be mounted on top of what is a $300 million project in the city. SEN. TIM SCOTT: FOURTH OF JULY CHALLENGES – AS IN TIMES PAST WE WILL UNITE, PROGRESS AND HOPE, ALWAYS “The American Flag is a symbol of Freedom! Many men and women died to maintain this freedom, many more fought and still fight to keep this freedom, and you make us remove it??”

Virginians please vote these commies out in Nov

Fuckin cowards! They don’t deserve to fly those colors any time if that’s their posture when it counts!!!

You edited out Trump on tv! Fuck!

That ridiculous. They should be proud of it. Sometimes they fly a huge one on the George Washington Bridge. I think it looks fantastic!

The people ordering the flags down shoukd be ordered to resign. Not sure who the cowards are.. the moron left, or the morons kowing down.

Fly them high!

18 U.S. Code § 700. Desecration of the flag of the United States; penalties. Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned

What in the world...this isnsoooo wrong. Virginia should defend the flag on Independence Day of all days. What cowards! And they aren’t protestors!

The Democrats were the leaders of slavery and killed Lincoln they will stop at nothing.

No surprise here. This coming from a governor who wore blackface when he was in college and he denied it win it’s plainly displayed in his yearbook. Northam is a LOSER👎👎

Cowards

The Radical Right is finally getting it.

Fuck Northam. Fly it high. Fly it true.

Some' muppet has hung it up side down' and the wrong way round! 😅😂🤣🇬🇧

a lot to subdue 13% of population disgraceful

of course they did...after all it is the anniversary of our Independece...

weak leaders, new generations are nothing more than goofs without any ability to use their brains, the USA strides towards insignificance. China is just around the corner.

This looks so much like misinformation or fake news, if you filter our Fox and CNN the news would be less sensational

Ahhh, only in Virginia the cowardly communist state. Run and hide when someone questions your patriotism you're to weak and simple minded to stand up for your beliefs. Or do you even have any?

realDonaldTrump Communism has arrived and taken a foothold. seanhannity TuckerCarlson GOP

Weak Va

Cowards.

Virginia should lose it’s statehood. This is appalling

SOFT

Simply more people that need to LEAVE this great country.

Virginia is a liberal dump now

Total bullshit!

Oh what a time we live in. Hatred of our own flag due to willfully ignorant people who don’t ACTUALLY have problems but like to imagine they’re living the life of the biggest victim in existence.

Idiots

Insult

That's a disgrace! What a shame.

So Virginia we give into the fear of the protesters? So if they destroy the flag , we put up another 🤔. We don't just take it down out of fear it might attract protesters. Then if that is the case, we might as well give into all their other demands.

Virginia Democrats add it again. Submitting to the mob.

Why are we negotiating and bowing to terrorists? All enemies foreign and domestic is the vow EVERY politician makes when he takes office! We should never take our flag down out of fear!

How bout those officials stop getting a gov check 🤷‍♂️

Censorship? Sounds to me like their freedom of speech was violated

Trump makes it harder for red state politicians to battle the coronavirusWith COVID-19 cases rising in red states, Republican officials are caught between taking a hard line to tamp down the outbreak or staying consistent with Trump. Anxiously awaiting a tweet or two, in all-caps, from the Buffoon-in-chief: 'LIBERATE TEXAS!' and 'LIBERATE FLORIDA!' More rice bowls and lies. The LA Times should apologize for denying hydroxy works. Real journalists find the truth. You cost ppl lives. Hydroxy is 8 dollars and is why there are no outbreaks in Africa because they use it to fight malaria. You are just as bad as CNN and the nytimes

Texas waited to require masks, close beaches ahead of Fourth of July as coronavirus spikedTexas became a national coronavirus hotspot this week but didn't close popular beaches like Galveston until Friday, when crowds still appeared. 28 million people marched and protested in America over the past month. That seems to be okay with the MSM and the Dems. I think we are past trying to control the Wahun virus, now we need to control the hypocrites. Leave Texas alone. You got enough problems in LA. you didn't happen to see the riots last few weeks right here in LA....you didn't say anything about covid. how weird is that
