Trump says he has 'no problem' with removal of Pride flags
"Well, I wouldn't be. [But] then they'll sue, and they'll get freedom of speech stuff. So that'll happen. But I would have no problem with it."
"My Administration will act to restore respect and sanctity to the American Flag and prosecute those who incite violence or otherwise violate our laws while desecrating this symbol of our country, to the fullest extent permissible under any available authority."
"This is a trans flag is up and down 14th street. A lot of people are threatened by this flag. Would you be opposed to taking this flag down?"
Donald Trump told an attendee he would have no problem with removing Progress Pride flags from Washington, D.C., streets but noted such actions would prompt lawsuits and free-speech defenses. Brian Glenn showed an image of a Progress Pride flag and misidentified it as a trans flag, saying people felt threatened and linking the flag to violence. Trump compared the issue to burning the US flag and cited an executive order aimed at restoring respect for the flag and prosecuting desecration. Glenn urged labeling those using the Progress Pride flag as a "domestic terrorist group," and Trump said such labeling could prompt legal challenges.
