BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Some Republicans in Congress on reintroduced a proposal calling for a ban on burning the American flag – and they’ve already won an endorsement from President Trump. “All in for Senator Steve Daines as he proposes an Amendment for a strong BAN on burning our American Flag. A no brainer!,” the president wrote in a Twitter message. The proposal is being sponsored in the Senate by Sens. Steve Daines of Montana and Kevin Cramer of North Dakota and in the House by Rep. Steve Womack of Arkansas. It calls for the U.S. Constitution to be amended so Congress would have “constitutional authority to ban the desecration of the United States flag.” New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was outrage at the idea. “How dare he!” she tweeted. “Burning the flag is a rally cry for people who want to overthrow our government and he’s trying to suppress that important movement. It’s not right! It’s not fair! What will he do next, try to put me out of a job by making it a crime to be an airhead with over-sized front teeth… uh… um… well you know what I mean.”
