House Speaker Mike Johnson has strongly condemned the actions of pro-Palestinian demonstrators who burned an American flag during protests in Washington, DC, yesterday. The Louisiana Republican criticized the protesters who defaced monuments with graffiti and removed flags, calling for them to face criminal charges. In a show of defiance and patriotism, a group of House Republicans later replaced the flags outside Union Station where the originals had been taken down.
The protests, which were sparked by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu's visit to the US, saw demonstrators. . .
