FAFO: Man ARRESTED After Burning American Flag Outside White House

A man has just been arrested after burning the American flag right outside the White House.

This comes just hours after President Trump signed an executive order making it illegal to burn the American flag.

In defiance of this order, a deranged man, who claims to be a veteran, set fire to the American flag near the White House in protest.

He was immediately arrested.

NBC News reported:

Federal authorities Monday arrested a man across the street from the White House after he set an American flag on fire the day President Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to crack down on flag burning.

The man, who identified himself as a 20-year combat veteran in a video posted to social media by the news outlet The Bulwark, said, “I’m burning this flag as a protest to that illegal fascist president that sits in that House,” as he pointed toward the White House from Lafayette Square.

The Secret Service said in a statement that it detained the man around 6:15 p.m. ET “for igniting an object” and that he was turned over to U.S. Park Police.

Park Police said they arrested the man for violating a statute that prohibits lighting a fire in a public park.

The arrest came hours after Trump signed an executive order to crack down on “desecration” of the American flag in connection with inciting violence or violating other laws.

The order directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to “vigorously prosecute” people who burn the American flag while engaged in other offenses, and it says she “may pursue litigation to clarify the scope of the First Amendment exceptions in this area.”
