Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has expressed her full support for President Trump’s recent executive order targeting individuals who desecrate or burn the American flag. In a statement released from Cheyenne, Lummis emphasized the importance of respecting the flag as a national symbol.
“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.”
The executive order aims to increase legal action against those accused of damaging or setting fire to the American flag. The full text of the executive order can be accessed at Prosecuting Burning of the American Flag here.
