Cheyenne, WY – Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) today released the following statement fully supporting President Trump’s executive order which cracks down on suspects who desecrate and burn the American 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.”
