The White House has condemned the actions of anti-war protesters outside Union Station in Washington, DC, who took down and burned American flags during a demonstration against Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit. The protests were deemed 'disgraceful' by White House spokesperson Andrew Bates.
Bates expressed strong disapproval of the protesters' actions, stating that 'identifying with evil terrorist organizations like Hamas, burning the American flag, or forcibly removing the American flag and replacing it with another, is disgraceful.' He emphasized that antisemitism and violence are never acceptable under any circumstances.
