Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming has announced her full support for President Trump’s recent executive order aimed at increasing penalties for individuals who burn or desecrate the American flag. The executive order directs federal agencies to take stronger action against acts involving the destruction of the flag.
“I fully support President Trump’s executive order to crack down on flag burning and destruction,” stated Lummis. “In Wyoming, we honor the American flag – we don’t desecrate it. Our flag is not just fabric, it is the living symbol of freedom and liberty recognized around the world, defended by generations of brave Americans who gave their lives for it. It deserves nothing less than our highest respect. I urge Democrats and left-wing protesters to stop this grotesque and offensive American flag burning and come together in treating the flag with the dignity and reverence it deserves.”
