Watch: Communists Burn American Flag, Assault Secret Service Outside White House
Members of the Revolutionary Community Party burned an American flag outside of the White House on Thursday shortly before President Donald Trump’s “Salute to America” speech. They then threw the flag on multiple Secret Serviced agents.
A veteran grabbed the half-burned flag and attempted to put it out, clearly upset at the Communists’ gesture. Secret Service eventually used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire.

According to the Washington Examiner, flag-burning activist Gregory “Joey” Johnson and two others were arrested for the stunt.
Johnson made a name for himself when he won a 1989 Supreme Court case that made flag-burning legal. He recently received a $225,000 settlement from Cleveland, Ohio for being arrested for bringing a flag at the 2016 Republican convention.
