Trump Calls for One-Year Jail Sentence for Flag Burners, Pledges to Restore Free Speech
Oct 28, 2024, 12:26 AM
Former President Donald Trump has called for a new law that would impose a one-year jail sentence for anyone who burns the American flag. This proposal, which he announced during a recent rally, contradicts the landmark First Amendment case, Texas v. Johnson, which protects flag burning as a form of free speech. Trump has urged Speaker Johnson to draft this legislation, framing it as a response to radical leftists. Critics, including Vice President Kamala Harris, have condemned Trump's proposal, arguing that it violates constitutional protections and reflects his desire for unchecked power. Despite this, Trump also pledged to 'restore free speech' during the same rally.
