Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Thu Jul 25 09:35:54 2024 Very whimsical that no one posted about it yesterday.0-000000 Protesters burned U.S. flags and raised Palestinian flags outside Union Station in Washington, D.C. a series of dramatic demonstrations from protesters. Earlier in the day, maggots were dumped on a banquet table at a hotel, while fountains around the capital city were dyed blood red. The protests escalated in the afternoon, with a group outside Washington's train station removing U.S. flags and replacing them with flags of Palestine. Videos shared on social media show the protesters burning an American flag and an effigy, with some dancing in celebration as music plays. The U.S. Park Police revoked a protest permit for the area a short time later, while Amtrak informed customers of expected delays due to disruptions caused by "protest activity." The chaotic scene provoked an avalanche of outrage from current and former public officials and others on social media. "This is an insult to every American who has worn the flag on their arm and died for our nation," former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan wrote on X. "It's disgusting and disgraceful." "Anti-American, pro-Hamas, antisemitic terrorists are chanting allahu akbar, vandalizing property and burning American flags in DC," former Republican New York lawmaker and gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin wrote. "Police should immediately intervene and make arrests! The line of protected free speech has indisputably been crossed." "I just took this picture from my Senate office. Less than a mile from the U.S. Capitol, pro-Hamas protestors have taken down and burned AMERICAN FLAGS at Union Station to fly Palestinian flags. Absolutely SHAMEFUL," wrote Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. At around the same time, Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins wrote on X that "at least a dozen protesters have been arrested as we continue to see sporadic clashes w police around the Capitol and Union Station." ---- In other news, Ms. Pelosi sided with the protestors calling it the worst speech of our time. No word yet if Harris will post bail for these insurrectionists as she is known to often do. |
