An American flag is flying again at Union Station in Washington, D.C. after a group of House Republicans took action.
On Wednesday night, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) shared a video on X and wrote, “We raised the flags back up.”
“Earlier today, terrorist sympathizers tore down the American flags at Union Station, burned them, and raised the Palestinian flag in its place. After votes tonight, a group of members, including many veterans and the Speaker of the House, took our flag back and raised it,” he continued. “Took a while to get it done because the Hamas supporters broke the connections, but DC police helped us out and got us zip ties.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) wrote in a post as well, “Earlier today, pro-Hamas protesters took down the American flags at Union Station, burned them and raised Palestinian flags.”
“Tonight, we righted their wrong. American flags are once again flying over Union Station. We will not let the terrorist mob win,” he added.
On Wednesday, anti-Israel protesters took to the streets in the nation’s capital as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress.
Fox News reports, “At Union Station, agitators burned an American flag and vandalized a Christopher Columbus statue with the words ‘Hamas is coming.’ They also took down an American flag and flew the Palestinian flag instead.
