Trump Proposes One-Year Jail Sentence for Flag Burning, Vows to Restore Free Speech
Oct 28, 2024, 12:29 AM
Former President Donald Trump has proposed new legislation that would make burning the American flag a crime punishable by one year in jail. This proposal, which Trump has suggested to Speaker Johnson, aims to revive a debate from 1991 regarding the criminalization of flag burning. Trump’s stance appears to conflict with the landmark Supreme Court decision in Texas v. Johnson, which ruled that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment. Despite this, Trump has reiterated his commitment to defending free speech and restoring free speech.
