Trump wants Congress to pass a law so people who burn the American flag will 'go to jail for 1 year'
U.S. President Donald Trump points at the crowd as he enters his first re-election campaign rally in several months in the midst of the coronavirus disease outbreak, at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, U.S., June 20, 2020Trump said that people who burn a flag should be sentenced to jail for at least one year at a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The US Supreme Court, however, ruled that burning an American flag is constitutionally protected speech under the First Amendment in 1989. President Donald Trump said that Congress should pass a federal law mandating that people who burn an American flag should go to jail for at least one year during his Saturday night rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
At the Tulsa rally, Trump blasted "left-wing anarchists" for tearing down statues of historical figures like Thomas Jefferson and Christopher Columbus, mentioning one incident in Portland, Oregon where a group of people took down a statue of George Washington, wrapped it in an American flag, and set it on fire. "We ought to come up with legislation that if you burn the American flag, you go to jail for one year...we ought to do it.
