House Speaker Johnson announce that flags at the US Capitol will fly at full-staff on January 20th for the Trump inauguration.
@w7voa the disrespect is mind boggling. #republicans are classless and they continue to sink lower right before our eyes
@w7voa I won’t be watching anyway. So disrespectful to former President Carter. My country’s honor is going down the toilet.
@w7voa how is he in charge of that decision? I get him being Speaker gives him lots of control within and around the building, but Congress has a law on the books (The Flag Code) that specifies otherwise.
Also, learning about a similar incident in the past around Regan's funeral - shameful both ways.
@w7voa so trump’s momentarily ego boost is worth more than the respect of someone who devoted their life to community service. That’s not a question now, that’s just how little that respect is worth. Expectedly disrespectful
@w7voa If my retirement community raises it's flags, I'll start a revolt!
My email to my retirement community manager:
"We are going to honor President Carter by keeping the flags at half-staff on the 20th, right?
I know DeSantis just ordered state flags full-staff for the 20th, but I’m assuming we’re still continuing to honor the Presidential Proclamation throughout the end of January.
Thanks for responding.
