Hillary In ‘06: "I Hope We Can Pass A Law That Criminalizes Flag Burning

As President Donald Trump’s flag burning ban is being criticized by the far left, an old video of Hillary Clinton has resurfaced – showing that she once called for a flag-burning ban herself.

Under Trump’s executive order, people who burn the flag can now be sentenced to 1 year behind bars – and as many democrats made fun of Trump – others are reminding people of the bill that Hillary took to the senate floor back in 2006 – titled the "Flag Protection Act" that she said would make it a crime to desecrate the American flag.

"I hope, Mr. President, that we can pass a law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration."
Clinton said,
"I agree wholeheartedly that maliciously burning or destroying an American flag is a deeply offensive and despicable act,"

adding that it "disrespects our nation, it belittles the sacrifices of our brave veterans, it even sends a message to the soldiers who fight today protecting our freedom that their service is in some way to be disrespected and discounted."

"Now burning a flag to me is also despicable and I believe that there is no denying when we talk about our flag,"

"Americans’ emotions run deep, and we know that when we look at the flag, and it’s deliberately maliciously destroyed that is an intimidating experience in many instances," she said, adding,

"I agree that this flag burning, this desecration, that can happen to our flag, is something that people have a right to ask this body to try to prohibit and prevent."
