#washingtonexaminer #maxmiller #rashidatlaib

Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) sponsored an appropriation amendment clarifying that funds may not be used on any foreign flags. His sponsoring of the amendment comes as Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) flies the Palestinian flag outside her office.

In response to a tweet from Washington Examiner reporter Reese Gorman showing the Palestinian flag outside Tlaib's office, Miller portrayed the flying of the flag as an affront to the United States's national honor. In response, he put forward a motion seeking to de facto prevent flags not of the U.S. from being paid for by appropriations bills.
