Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and a group of House Republicans restored American Flags at Union Station late Wednesday night after anti-Israel protesters tore them down while demonstrating against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
From Fox News:
House Speaker Mike Johnson spoke with the press as the American flags were being put back up. The anti-Israel protesters descended on the nation’s capital as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an address before Congress.
At Union Station, protesters removed all three American flags flying outside the historic metro transit hub. They flew Palestinian flags in their place and burned at least one of the American flags that were taken down. Protesters also covered nearby monuments in graffiti.
“We recognize that they flew Palestinian flags on these polls. It is outrageous,” Johnson said. “They were pulled down thankfully.”
