5:11Now PlayingThis week, Donald Trump signed a new executive order directing the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute anyone who burns the American flag — even though the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment as free speech.
The order includes a mandatory 1-year jail sentence for offenders.
Shortly after the announcement, Jay Carey, a 54-year-old Army veteran and Bronze Star recipient, burned an American flag near the White House in protest. He was arrested — not for flag burning itself, but for lighting a fire on federal parkland. The case is expected to be challenged in court.
👉 In this clip, we debate:
Should burning the American flag be a crime or free expression?
Why do you think Trump is pushing this order now?
Is this about patriotism, or political distraction?
